Lilac Festival


 Each year in Rochester, they have a lilac festival at Highland Park during the month of May. The park has hundreds of lilac bushes, in hundreds of different types. So for the first time since we have lived here, we decided to go. (It is funny it took us so long to go because the park is only about 5 minutes from our house. But work schedules in the past have been inconvenient.) First we went on a Friday night. There were food vendors, music on stage, a magician, game booths, a craft scetion, and all sorts of other people selling things. Then as you went into the hilly part of the park there were the lilac bushes. As you walk through the bushes you can smell the beautiful fragrance drifting by on the breeze. There are so many different colors and sizes of the flowers. It was so pretty. A week later we went back to take some more pictures and took Sadie and Sylvester with us. They had a fun time sniffing around and exploring the park.
