LANTERN FEST

What is the Lantern Fest? It is a an opportunity for thousands of cool people to join together to create an unforgettable display of light.

 Each attendee gets a kit with all the fixings for s'mores, tools to decorate your lantern, and an opportunity for great memories.

You can arrive early for an afternoon of live music, dancing, food trucks, kid's fun,

 and s'mores.

After the sun sets and the time is just right,

it is time to light the sky with lanterns.

The lanterns are supposed to represent our highest hopes, deepest regrets, and fondest dreams.

You are welcome to write on or decorate your lantern to represent those things.

Then after you light the lantern, 

you let it go and let it float away to the sky.

It is really a sight to behold.

 I have never experienced an event like this before, but I am sure this won't be the last time.

CAMPING

The groundhog told us we will have 6 more weeks of winter. I respect the groundhog, but it has been super warm weather in Utah this February so far. This makes me super excited for Spring/Summer camping. I have been collecting gear for a good trip. One of my favorite new items is this 

300 Lumens LED Ultra Bright Lantern.

It's made of sturdy rubber and ABS plastic construction for maximum durability and water resistance. 

It has a removable top for focused forward lighting or it can be used as a hanging area light.

Thankfully, the LED lights used in the lamp are guaranteed for up to 100,000 hours of use and never need replacing.

Three D size batteries are needed for the lamp (and not included with purchase). It can be used continuously for up to six days. This makes it a must have for any type of emergency and is safer and longer lasting than any type of emergency candle. This means the lamp is not just for camping--you can pack it for camping, hiking, boating, and emergency use. BUT, I'm using it to camp. Who wants to go?
