The Princess Festival!

Princess Festival 2011

So I had seen a billboard about the "Princess Festival" and decided that Lydia needed a fun day dedicated to her! So we got our tickets and headed down to Thanksgiving Point for the festival. We hadn't been before and I had heard mixed reviews from different people but I have to say we had so much fun. I thought we would maybe last an hour and 4 1/2 hours later the festival was closing and Lydia was begging to stay. To say the least it was TOTALLY worth every penny.

Lydia was a little shy with the characters, all I could figure was it was a mix of seeing her favorite characters in real life and trying to decide if they were strangers. It also didn't help that one of the first characters we saw was Beauty and the Beast and the Beast did look a little scary (ha ha ha!)

We got lots of Autograph's, saw all the different shows (except 1) and had a lot of FUN! We will definitely be going again next year!

We hadn't been there for more then 30 seconds when we ran into friends!

Tink was one of the first characters she met, can you tell she is being SO shy?

Getting her nails painted to match her dress!

Beauty...the Beast is in the background but Lydia wasn't going anywhere near him.

Sleeping Beauty...Lyd was still definitely trying to keep her distance.

Making a wish at the wishing well!

Watching the Aladdin show

Auds as always was such a Champ, she really is such a great baby!

I had to put this pic in to show her two new teeth...poor thing teething hasn't been kind to her.

Princess Mila...she is one of the Festival originals

Little mermaid or Little Liddy?

Lydia was so excited to dress up as Rapunzel

Lydia finally warmed up a little bit to Rapunzel...she told her she was her favorite!

When we got home I asked Lyd which princess she was the most excited to meet...she said "CAPTAIN HOOK...he is a PIRATE!"

Lydia told me "Mom, she is BEAUTIFUL!"

The Cinderella show...we got to go to the ball!

Getting her face painted!

Lydia really didn't want to leave, we spent like 15 minutes alone on this carriage outside the festival. I just couldn't get this little girly away!
