JP Lantern Festival

 Typically the weekend before Halloween, JP has their annual lantern festival.  We live right by JP Pond which is 1.5 miles around.  Many people walk or run this route.  You can boat the lake and we often feed the ducks.  I've been taking the babes for daily walks here.  This past weekend, I didn't realize this was the lantern festival.  I had gotten the babes ready and in their stroller.  Izzy was coming with us since the weather was so nice.  Half way there I realized this weekend (and not next) was the festival.  Izzy knew that many of the kids wear their halloween costumes and so she asked to go back and put it on.  She also wanted her lantern that we made last year.  If you don't have a lantern, there are many you can purchase (above).  Once everyone starts walking around the pond at dusk, it is a beautiful sight.

And here is the cherished princess dress.  Notice that her lantern is also princesses :-)
