We arrived a few hours before dark and braved the cold and wind. We ended up being so cold, that we had to buy sweatshirts to go over the sweat shirts we were already wearing.
Because we had gotten there so late, the firepits had already been claimed, but luckily a nice family invited us over to join theirs and warm up with them once we were able to light them up. We got to warm up and enjoy some s'mores while waiting for the wind to die down enough that we could have the launch.
Our persistance paid off and made all the cold worth it when we got to light up our lanterns that we decorated while waiting.
Then it was Mike's turn to let Bulbasaur free.
We watched the thousands of lanterns being released for a while and too some selfies
Mike managed to take this cool panoramic of it all.
And I managed to take a short, but effective video of the magic.
I could have stayed and watched all night, good thing the cold and the babysitter at the house were beckoning us to return to reality. The pictures definitely don't do it justice. I can't wait to do it again later this year. Next time with the kids in tow.
