Princess Festival

On June 18th we went to the Princess Festival at the children's garden at Thanksgiving Point. We had a fun group. All three of my kids, my mom, and Kirah and Kimberly. Ariana loved every bit of it, and could have stayed longer, I wouldn't have minded staying either, but after three hours, everyone else was more than ready to go. Gerry seemed to enjoy himself, he liked getting autographs in his book, but tired of it after a while. Anela had fun, but wanted to be free to run around where ever she wanted, and got sick of not being allowed to run off. Kimberly didn't really get the point and was sick of it really quick, so Kirah found a sand pit for her to play in, that she seemed to really like. As were were walking out, the kids decided that they wouldn't mind staying a little longer to play at the fountain where there is a big Noah's ark.
Ariana got her hair done in a 'princess hair do', and loved it. I need to learn how to do fun things with her hair. When I was her age, my mom used to do such fun fancy hair do's and I loved it. She also got her nails painted. It was nice for her to have her princess pampering!
All in all, we had a fun time, and they are already asking to go back. Ariana has asked if we will go again next year. Anela doesn't really understand the concept of yearly, and keeps asking to go back now. Hopefully we will be able to go again next year!

Princess Festival fun!
