This entry is due months ago… I’ve been lazy.

We went to watch Disney on Ice on December 26, 2008 with some friends. The Incredibles saved the day in Disneyland park, saving Mickey and Minnie from the villain Syndrome.

Here is Donald Duck, one of my favorite Disney characters

and Mickey Mouse!

We had an extended long weekend, with a day off on Monday and the Remembrance Day on Tuesday. Today we stayed at home relaxing, but last year we went to the Niagara.

Here is some pictures taken on the Remembrance Day 2007, at the Niagara Parks Heritage Trail.

From the 2008 Rogers Chinese Lantern Festival:

Egypt is a country rich with culture from the Pyramids of Giza, temples of the Pharaoh’s and the Great Sphinx to hieroglyphs and the Nile River.

One of my favorites from this year’s lantern festival. I like dragons.

From the 2008 Rogers Chinese Lantern Festival:

Dragons are an icon of Chinese good fortune; symbolic of strength, nobility, and imperial greatness. Pearls represent wisdom, truth and soul.
These dragons are posed reaching out eagerly to clutch at this elusive object; mouths open in anticipation of attaining the prize afforded by capturing the pearl.

When I see this tree in the Mysterious Forest’s Lantern Festival, it reminds me of the picture we took in Bellagio’s Botanical Garden back in March’08. Maybe because of the purplish colour…

From the 2008 Rogers Chinese Lantern Festival:

The mysterious forest creates a dream world of mystifying enchantments. This fantastic lantern set highlights the spectacular colours and magical atmosphere of this fantasy forest
