y and wonderfully messy... you just need some willow, masking tape, PVA and tissue paper. The girls had a good time making although me and Lee ended up finishing them off! they've been great decoration to our front room over the week and then today in glorious sunshine in the garden they set to work with glue, glitter, feathers etc to add finishing touches while Lee and I got the bike trailer and provisions ready. 
At 7pm we set off for Mount Pleasant park with J and S in the trailer soooo cozy with cushions and fluffy blanket and B in the pram supposedly going to sleep!
Arriving at the park to the sound of drums and hit with the visual feast of a multitude of lanterns from a giant elephant/dragon creature to loads of little tea light lanterns.
The kids soon vacated their chariot and ran round with one of their friends from home school community who we stumbled upon! As the sun started to go down then the fun really began as the drummers set up near us and started to pound out the rhythm that made me want to get a whistle! We then set off at an easy walking pace following th
e drummers amongst Jellyfish, bluebells, lady
birds, whales, toadstools, robots, A genie and lamp... check out the pics.
we walked a good distance through the main streets and arrived at a park where there were fire jugglers which completely hypnotised the kids! We got a good look at the big lanterns and now know a bit more on how to make them so we can be even more adventurous next year!
As the revelling crowd started to disperse we set off home, Lee and I enjoying a chat and leisurely walk through the back streets with our 3 beautiful children fast asleep in their chariots! lifted all 3 easily to bed when we arrived home leaving us two still on a high from a wonderful evening.
