A Royal Morning

Princess Anna & Cinderella

Having fun making crowns and light catchers.

Knighting by magic bubbles?

Hear Ye! Hear Ye! Once upon a time, this past weekend, in an enchanted kingdom, princesses, knights, kings, queens, and a wizard gathered for a royal banquet. They feasted merrily on a royal Chick-fil-A breakfast. The fair maidens, dressed in their finest gowns and the knights, gallantly armed with sword and shield and dressed in full armor gathered together by royal invitation. Our banquet was graced by the presence of The Mad Scientist. She created magical bubbles, concocted of dry ice and water. Our knights and fair maidens participated in ceremonial craft making with Queen Hilary and our newest volunteer Princess Rita. Our fair ladies created gorgeous tiaras complete with jewels and our valiant knights personalized their own royal crowns. Sun -catchers were a popular craft at our festival. Several princesses created princess sun-catchers to match their own attire. Knights personalized their own shields with their family’s crest. Princess Jordan gave each princess a royal pampering, complete with makeup, manicures, and elegant face painting. Many princesses could be seen with flowers, hearts and stars covering their faces. Everything shimmered with magic dust from hair glitter to shimmering face powder. Queen Dawn granted each princess and knight a trip to the royal treasure chest where they could fill a bag will their share of treasure, including princess and knight mugs to serve as drinking goblets for future feasts. Gold was everywhere, coins scattered across the tables of our banquet hall. Princesses all received their own personal jeweled rings and lip gloss. Our wizard carried his very own magic wand. Knights and fair maidens alike played in the enchanted castle towers, rescuing damsels in distress, sliding and climbing in the indoor playground. Princess Anna was helped from her carriage upon her arrival by her father, the king. With a stool he created a bridge across the moat in the parking lot, keeping her beautiful blue gown sparkling and clean. We later received a visit from Cinderella and her Knight, the champion jouster in the Kingdom, who had defeated many fire breathing dragons. We took pictures with Cinderella though she had to leave suddenly or her carriage would once again become a pumpkin. Perhaps we shall see what is left of her carriage again next weekend on our Great Escapes event to the Berry Farm to get our very own pumpkins!
