The Princess Festival


I decided that I should probably take Kodi to the princess festival since she adores princesses, she had a lot of fun last year, and it was Snow White who got her potty trained.  in a way, she earned it.  I was disappointed, however, when they raised the price.  Last year it was $15/person for the day.  Kodi got in free because she was under 3.  This year it was $45 for a mom and child, and that was for four hours.  Last year it took the full four hours before she warmed up.

This year, Kodi never did truly warm up.  She wouldn't even talk to the princesses that she didn't know, and she refused a picture with Tinkerbell, which made me sad.  We did see a lot of cool princesses and they were so nice to Kodi.  Kodi was a little frank with some.  She'd tell them that she didn't want a picture with them, or she didn't want them to sign her book.  I hope she learns a little more tact as she gets older so it's not so blunt.

The high for temperatures that day was 103 degrees.  We've been on a heat wave and it's not going away.  Kodi's favorite part of the festival was playing in the water.  She started by holding her dress up so it wouldn't get wet.  Before long, she was completely submerged and rolling around in the water.  I think it was a nice cool down for her.  After that, she just wanted to go home.

I thought she'd enjoy it more than she did.  That was a little disappointing, but it was still fun to get some cute pictures and let Kodi be a princess for the morning.
