Afternoon with the Princesses

A good friend of mine told me about this festival with the princesses. It was on September 16th and sounded so fun! Jon and I read about it and knew the girls would really enjoy it. There was supposed to be a booth (Rapunzel's tower) where little girls could donate their hair and that was our biggest motivation in going. How cool to donate your hair in a Rapunzel tower! And Sophie was ready and excited. Turns out they discontinued that option. The tower was still there but not for hair donations. Just for getting all dolled up. We were a bit disappointed, but still enjoyed meeting the characters.

 The girls took a princess test and found out that Lydia is most like Snow White (or possibly Rapunzel because both of them love animals) and Sophie is most like Ariel. For sure the love for animals landed Lyds there and Sophie's favorite princess is most decidedly Ariel, but that was fun anyway. Mia chose a Moana pin but kept her distance from the fortune tellers.

 Besides pulling the sword from the stone the girls got to make magic wands and search for buried treasure. They also got to put nice notes into the wishing well for a little boy with cancer. It was really great to see all the love and support shown him and of course the girls loved writing/ coloring pictures for him and being a part of it..

 I find it so interesting that Lydia has always had such a fascination with Maleficent. At first I wasn't sure if she'd be willing to get her picture with her but love that she was! And that woman was so into her role!

 We finished off the day with Chick-fil-A. Always a win. I'm glad to have these pics of Mia since she refused to get any taken with the characters. Maybe if there had been an Olaf.... Despite that we had a great time, and have some fun memories too.
