Glowing Orbs in my Backyard

I bought 2 sets of solar-powered lanterns from Costco earlier this week. (3 lanterns for $19.99)

I set them out this afternoon, and they're super cute! Kind of gives a Mad Hatter Party kind of feel to the backyard.

The lanterns have rechargeable batteries in them which are recharged by the little solar panel on the top. I'm not sure if they got enough sunlight today to power them fully, but I'm pretty pleased with the effect that they give on their first night out.
