Lantern Asia

One of our favorite things to do here in Virginia is visit the Norfolk Botanical Garden. This spring, they had an amazing exhibit of Chinese lanterns called Lantern Asia. We all had so much fun walking through it!
 We arrived at the garden early so that we could stroll through the spring flowers. Daffodils are such cheerful things.
 Sarah and I played at the sand park while Kelson went for a run. I was too busy keeping morning sickness at bay to even think about running.
 On top of the mountain!

We all enjoyed a picnic while we waited for it to get dark.
 The lanterns were all so beautiful and vibrant. Sarah loved the bugs.

 This Taj Mahal lantern was at least 60 feet tall. Wow!
 Sarah has been asking to go to the garden and see the dragon pretty much every day since then.
 There was a temple sculpture I forgot to take a photo of that was made of over 1 million dishes and silverware held together with fishing line. It was amazing how it all came together to look like a temple.
Sarah riding on Daddy's shoulders dressed like a bug singing twinkle twinkle. Pretty much standard practice around our house. 
What a fun family evening out!
