We went to the Renaissance Festival with our neighbors Jennifer, Noah and Madeline. Both girls wore Belle costumes. Sure, it wasn't Disneyland, but they got quite a lot of attention while wearing them. I even had one woman ask if she could take Marina's picture. Naturally, Marina created a glamorous pose for her. I bought Marina the princess hat she picked out. She got compliments all day.
After we left the hat store, we met up with Prince Charming. He was kind enough to stop for a picture with her.
Noah and Madeline wanted to ride the elephants while we were there and they convinced Marina to join them. She seemed unsure, but ultimately, she went. During the ride, she was all smiles.
We stopped for lunch. Marina and I split a turkey leg. (She got a taste for them at Disneyland last year, so there was no question what she wanted to eat today!)
We spent some time in the Kid's Kingdom where Marina rode the butterfly ride and a cow! She was too scared to feed the animals in the petting zoo, so we didn't do that for long.
We finished the day watching the jousting. Marina really got into that! She loved cheering for our knight, Sir James, even if he was a bad guy. There was some staged violence and she looked concerned until I assured her it was all pretend. When the king exited the arena, she even did a pretty curtsy for him.
Despite the heat and all the walking around, everyone seemed to have a great time today!
