Princess Festival

Princess Festival
June 22

We decided to try out the princess festival this year.  It is quite a production of characters, shows, and adventures.  The idea of the festival is to put emphasis on a real princess being one who helps others and shows kindness.  It was a little chaotic trying to figure out how everything worked because there were so many choices of things to do and people to meet.  Emilyn loved getting her face painted and meeting the different princesses and characters all over the gardens, and Matisyn loved getting to go on adventures and quests with the princesses.  The quests were all about showing kindness to others, and when you completed so many you could get a snowie.  Matisyn especially got into the whole adventure and imagination of the festival and it was fun to watch her immerse herself in the day.  Daddy and Lucas were good sports to come along and be our King and Prince!

 The girls each got a special storybook and pen with a section for signatures in the back.

 We made it to one little performance, a magic show, and storytime in addition to the quests.

Emilyn looked beautiful with her face painted.

At the end of our four hour session all the princesses and characters had a parade and the kids could jump up and join them if they wanted.  The girls eventually joined in, but I ran after them because I wasn't sure where the parade was going or where the girls would end up!
