Chinese lantern festival

This week we had the lovely Syndey come to visit which is always a pleasure. And one of the nights we went to the lantern festival which I had no idea about. It blew my mind I was expecting 50 or so people letting lanterns go in a wannabe tangled moment but instead the entire park was full of these beautiful illuminated sculptures. From pandas to jellyfish to pokemon to sheep I ran around like a kid in a candy shop. It's going on my top five Auckland moments list. So happy year of the dragon I miss you all and if you get a chance go to a lantern festival! ( realizing as I write this that you all probably knew what it was and I'm the idiot thy missed lantern day at school, hahaha oh well the surprise made it so much better)
