My mom called me a couple of months ago and asked if Ava would want to go to the Princess Festival. I had no idea what it was but because my mom was so excited to take her so I said sure. I was pleasantly surprised when we arrived. I was worried because it was pouring rain the whole drive down there. But when we arrived the rain stopped and did not start back up until we were driving back home. They went all out for these girls. It was down in Lindon Utah and the name of the place was "Hatfieldadelphia". The festival benefited girls from Kenya. They even had little girls from Kenya there who they called the "Princesses of Kenya". It was very touching. When we arrived they gave Ava a sticker that said "Princess Ava" on it so that the host princesses would know who she was. They had craft tables for the girls to make crowns, wands, and necklaces. Ava had a blast making her wand because they gave her sparkle paint. When we finished making our crafts, a fairy came and gathered all the girls to help her rescue the princesses. They went to various places around "Hatfieldadelphia" and rescued Rapunzel, Snow White, Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, and Belle. When they were finished they had a Ball with all the princesses and their princes. The princes danced with the little girls. It was adorable. I had my doubts when I first heard about it because she has been to Disneyland 3 times and that's what I thought she would compare it to. But I know that we will definitely be signing up for this next year!
