Chinese Lantern Festival

Mom and I had a girls night out! We drove to Fair Park to see the Chinese Lantern Festival.  Although these were not traditional lanterns because there was no fire, they were still beautiful to see. There were so many pretty colors and characters.

My favorites were the mushrooms, because of the fun colors, and the Porcelain Pagoda. The Pagoda was 53 feet tall and made completely from porcelain plates, bowls, spoons, and cups. There were approximately 68,000 dishes that comprised the 7 towers!  Very neat! 

 

 
 

 1986 was the year of the Tiger!  That's me!
