Lily Got Her Fairy Wings

This post is late.....okay WAY late, but I just had to make sure I posted it.  We made the trek out to the Renaissance Festival again this year and took Memaw and Papa with us.  Lily was so excited to go back to "where the princesses live" and practically lived in her purple dress from last year for the week leading up to the big day.




The grounds are pretty big so we knew we would be on kid and baby time so we did just about everything we could right at the start, including getting Lily's face painted.  She was so excited to have it done, but wasn't so sure about it while in the chair.




This year was really all about Lily.  She is the perfect age for the festival and just had so much fun.  Upon walking in the front entrance she noticed that a girl had wings.  "Oh Mommy, those are fairy wings, just like Tinkerbell."  Yeah, Disney has got the run on little girls.  We discovered the Disney "Fairies" and have been fully enamored with all things fairy and flying.  Lily was just beside herself. "Mommy, lets get some fairy wings!"

So, Miss Lily got her wings.  How cute is she?


We met the King and Queen, watched the jugglers, dancers and bell ringers.  We saw the horses and knights and ate ice cream.  We sat mesmerized at the Celtic Legacy group of musicians....AMAZING, and managed to get back to our car literally seconds before an enormous torrential downpour started.




It was a great morning and we brought home a sleeping baby and a very tired little fairy.
