We visited the Chinese Lantern Festival at Fair Park in Dallas on the last weekend they would be opened.
We went on a Saturday and got there early. I am so glad we did because by the time we got in the gate the line was twice as long and when we got there (and it was long when we got there). Also, by going early we got to see everything before it got dark and then got to see it all lit up!
We took a few pictures of the girls before it got dark.
Everything was very colorful and pretty!
They really liked the butterflies. Some of them had moving wings!
There was a very long dragon made from dishes - bowls, spoons, and egg cups. It was pretty neat to see.
When it started getting dark the lights came on and all of the displays.
There was a pond with lots of floating displays. One of the lotus flowers opened and closed. We even saw a mermaid!
By the time we had walked through the entire park it was beginning to get really crowded and we were getting hungry so we decided to head home. When we left traffic was backed up for miles with people waiting to get in.
We had a great time seeing all the beautiful lights!
