All the photos in this post are going to be from the China Lights Lantern Festival here in Vegas during it's 2018 run. We had a lot of fun when we visited the event, even though the live performances were cancelled due to the winds and frigid temperatures. We didn't mind so much, as there were so many beautiful lanterns and displays to enjoy that we didn't feel like we were missing much of anything! The technicolor frog above was especially fun to watch as the colours shifted, making it quite a hypnotic amphibian reminiscent of the Hypno-toad from Futurama... I can't even type the name of that show without the theme-song trumpeting it's way into my brain, haha! I don't mind that so much since it's one of my favourite shows, though I have to admit that I sorely need to get caught up... with all the cancellations and revivals, and years spent abroad without access (or the time/dedication needed to procure/find access) to television shows I really fell behind on a lot of things... coming back to the US in 2014, and again at the end of 2016, has always been interesting. So much music and pop culture that I hadn't followed...there have been ample times that Antho would put on a song and I had never heard or known of it previously, only to learn it was popular between 2011-2014. I digress... my lack of awareness on pop-culture isn't all that interesting, is it? Let's talk about the lanterns!
OBEYOBEYOBEYOBEYOBEY...
Along with Hypno-frog, there's roughly 20 different lantern stations vastly differing in their sizes, colours and designs, from beautiful and serene floral scenes to adorable collections of frolicking Pandas, to goofy paranoid-looking dragons there's plenty to see and admire for the whole family. The event itself is billed as being family-friendly, and this seemed quite true from what we saw. The lanterns are a beautiful sight against the dark cold night and as much as we enjoyed them as our grown-ass adult selves I can only imagine a young child's imagination set ablaze with the sights. Tickets are also more affordable for children, making it even easier to justify dragging the little ones out on a cold evening!
I've split the photos from this event into three separate posts, this being the middle one. Yesterday had the first batch and tomorrow will wrap this series. If you're liking these photos keep scrolling to see more and check back tomorrow for the final conclusion!
Check back tomorrow for the last batch of photos!
Until then~
