The Lantern Festival...

Ainsley and friends decided way back in January that the perfect way to kick off Summer 2017 was to go to the Lantern Festival in SLC just before school got out for the year.  I was super glad another parent opted to drive these girls down!

A week before the festival they decided they wanted to look "tan" and so they bought an a instant tanning lotion... Ainsley put on a coat and waited an hour and then said, "Huh... it didn't work that well I'll add another coat!" Later than night she started to "tan" Walker and I had all kinds of fun trying to find the correct shade of "tan" aka orange she was!

We discovered she had a strong resemblance to the "onion powder cap color!"  She couldn't decide if she wanted to add some to her face... she was worried she might look like an Oompa Loompa from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory!

She decided to not add any... thankgoodness!!! I think there would have been a good chance she would have looked eerily similar.

These 4 cuties had an amazing time... they laughed and danced and made plans to make this a yearly event for the rest of their lives!

I love this picture she took...

It sounded like it was a magical night... one that will be treasured always.
