Okay, this is a picture of a crazy moose that's going crazy in circles.
Hello Bloggineers, we are at the Water Lantern Festival.
This is an incredible experience where thousands of people celebrate life together by sending lanterns out into the water.
Today the event takes place in Whittier Narrows Recreation Area in South El Monte.
We're going to decorate our lanterns. Let's see what's inside the bag.
A lantern.
[Brother] Oh, I have this.
This is a wooden Lantern kit that we're going to design and construct.
There's even a little electric candle.
Brother started to decorate his lantern.
And I'm drawing something funny.
Tada! And here's my creation.
Mooo!
[Brother] This is Taigey. This is Nordy. And this is a cactus growing out of the ground.
[Brother] That sounds weird.
Let's go see if there's any delicious food around here.
Now we're gonna find something to eat at a food truck.
There's a long line, so it must be good.
[Narrator] Many, many, minutes later.
We finally got our meal.
Despite the long wait, Brother gives it his signature thumbs up.
Now w're waiting for the sun to set.
It's time to put our lanterns together.
Brother, be careful or else you'll rip the paper.
Oh, no. I haven't built my lantern yet.
These lanterns can carry messages of hope and dreams, or a letter to a loved one.
As the sky darkens, the announcer leads us in a prayer of peace.
These guys are ready to be launched.
The organization that runs the festival cleans up all the lanterns from the lake after the event.
In addition, the lanterns are made from rice paper and wood. So they are eco-friendly.
Come on, Brother, let's go release our vessels.
My uncle's going first.
[Brother] Now I'm going to launch the lantern.
It's my turn to release the lantern.
We had a spectacular time at the Water Lantern Festival.
