There's a scene in the Disney Movie "Tangled" where the characters set off floating lanterns. It's enchanting and visually amazing. I found a lantern festival in Mesquite, NV and bought tickets for us all. It was a little expensive and the place was packed!
We got there early and set up our spot.
There was music and food vendors. Merril waited in a huge line to get everyone ice cream.
We prepped our lanterns by writing notes on them or goals or decorations. Then it was finally time to set them off!
I was worried it wouldn't be a cool as it was in the film but it was so AMAZING!
The kids thought so too. Songs were played as we released the lanterns and they picked uplifting songs that added to the ambiance.
It's one of the neatest things I've ever witnessed.
The company has a policy to pick up all the lanterns for us (probably why it costs so much) and they littered the exit road for miles. The lanterns are completely biodegradable just in case they miss one.
It was totally worth it, totally amazing, and I think we'll do it again next year.
