Chinese New Year

This year we move into the year of the monkey and to celebrate there was a festival of lanterns in the park close by so we decided what a better way to spend an afternoon. We decided to go during the day for a few reasons 1) both Mark and I were home 2) parking is easier during the day when the festival is not actually taking place and 3) less people in the park means it will be easier to push the stroller around on the very thin pathways.

This means that although we saw hundreds of beautiful lanterns, and you could see the twinkle lights inside of them were on, they do not appear to be lit up but I think the colour and beauty of the hand stitched lanterns more than make up for the time of day when we enjoyed them. Below are some of our favorite shots from the day - including one of a sleeping Thomas enjoying the cozy ride in the sunshine.
