Moon Festival

October 7th has been a very busy day. We started out with the last Farmers Market, came home and then headed right back to Trout Lake for Chloe's birthday party. Walking towards home we stopped at the Moon Festival Harvest Faire to peak around figuring we would head home for a break before coming back for the Latern Parade. We didn't quite make home as there was Harvest Soup to be had and Bannock for those who aren't gluten free.

Kale pushed his stroller around while we ate on the lawn at Slocan Park.

We then joined the latern parade through the Ravine to the Renfrew Ravine Park.



Upon entering the park the evening turned magical. There were latern installations everywhere, hanging in the trees, floating in the river and hiding in the bushes. There were flame throwers and performers on stilts peaking out around the corners and drummers on the far side of the river. At the end of this winding trail of delight they were setting up for fireworks and live music for the grand finale latern performance.

Sadly Kale was crashing so we started our way back up the hill and home to bed. Kale fell asleep half way up the hill.
