A first First Light

We chose a perfect night to go to St Marie for their First Light celebration.  It was mild so there were no cold noses or toes; only happy smiles.

If you have never been to St Marie for First Light it truly is beautiful.  Thousands of candles and bonefires lighting up the night.  Musicians all over.  I really loved the native drummers.  It was neat watching Elspeth get into the drumming. “How do they do that?  How do they play?”  Oh, and then there were the crafts.  Both girls loved them.

A great night was had by all.

The sparks from the outdoor blacksmith were gorgeous flying through the air.
