Large Decorative Lanterns

September 8, 2016

Life in China 2016: A Picture A Day, September 8 – One week from today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so I’ll be posting some pictures for this holiday. While we were in Hong Kong on Tuesday, we walked through Victoria Park, and they were setting up a display of the large, colorful, modern style lanterns. There were so many that I loved: fish, turtles, penguins, elephants, llamas, rabbits, monkeys, ladybugs, the Monkey King, and other Chinese characters! I wish I could go back and see them all set up and glowing at night, but here are some pictures of getting ready for the holiday.

Attempting to do art... Peanut always wants to help! I bought a book with cute little animal drawings.  I can mostly follow the step by step pictures, but I also translate the notes. But he makes it difficult! I ended up having to make Peanut move. #
