Princess Festival

Last month we went to the Princess Festival.  We promised the girls we would take them since we didn't make it to Disneyland, and they had been looking forward to it all year.  We were so excited to have Aunt Andrea and cousin Claire come with us!

The kids watched Cinderella go the ball:
They tried on sparkly slippers to see if they were "true princesses":
They made a wish for friends in Africa who need clean water (admissions are donated to charity):
Look at these beautiful princesses!
Anna as Rapunzel:
Mary as Rapunzel:
Austin and Daddy were such good sports!
Austin's favorite part of the day was meeting this frog.  He talked to the kids (Andrea noticed a tent in the bushes behind him where his "voice" was camped out with a microphone) and asked them questions.  Austin thought it was pretty hilarious.
Hanging out with Snow White:
Waiting to watch Snow White's play:
Mary took a picture of Princess Sarah when she woke up:
Anna wanted to stand on the shore for her picture with Ariel:
Mary said, "Next year, I'm going to bring my swimming suit so I can swim with Ariel!"
Back in the van, Mary wanted Sarah to have a picture wearing a crown:
It was a pretty magical day.  Here is what our drive home looked like:
