Princess Festival 2012

We've begun making it an annual trip to the Princess Festival now held at Thanksgiving Point every June. It is a charity fundraiser and we really enjoyed it last year (with the exception of being the hottest day ever.) They have all the princesses to meet, storytimes, shows and of course all the usual vendors - food, crafts, face paint, etc. and all the little girls come dressed in their best princess attire. They made some changes this year that I thought were both good and bad. They made it easier to get to all the princesses this year, but then that made the princess part very short. They added a show by the Osmond girls, as well as some radio station which made it feel more modern and less princessy to me, but the girls still had a great time. It didn't even seem as hot this year.

 Watching the show.  The look on Stacey's face is my fave. "Do you expect me to believe that?"

In the carriage!

We met all the princesses, saw the 12 Dancing Princesses and Rumplestiltzkin Shows, listened to a story time, had lunch (and mini-donuts, delish!) cooled off with otter pops, made crafts and spent some time playing in the water to cool down.  We were really glad that our cousin Stacey got to come this year right before she moved away from us. We're always totally bushed after a day at the Festival!
