When I got off the airplane from my trip to Georgia to see my buddies, I went directly to the Renfest to see my grandfairies. They were there with some family members to see their daddy at work. And Dewdrop had just returned from her time with her Mommy out East, so I was really missing that lil cutey.
I know I've said it before, but I think that the addition of the Mermaid Lagoon to the festival is a giant improvement. We sure love that area.
And this time, there was a merperson plopped into the water fountain near the entrance too.
And of course, there are fairies galore. My girls always recognize Fay Royalty and are quick with a curtsy.
We have our favorite places to visit, we can't go without spending time in the Children's Realm and seeing the wizard.
As a matter of fact, it would be easy to spend the whole time just in this area for the shows, playground, and crafts. (all free)
We like the dancing too. Whether with the sprites around the maypole or with the royal family.
Where else can you sing at the top of your lungs to "What do you do with a drunken sailor" and dance a jig with Cinderella and her prince?
And be surrounded by pretty gypsies?
Or go for a camel ride?
We also met Rapunzel.
It was a bit surreal to be in Georgia with best friends, enjoying coffee on the wraparound porch of Suzanne's farm house that morning, then a few short hours later being surrounded by mermaids and princesses.
But, what a magical time!
This brings back such lovely memories. When my kids were younger, their dad played at renfests, I sold hair wreaths and the kids dressed up and wandered around together. What glorious times. So nice your grandfaeries get to have this sweet experience!

They are such fun places, arent they, Marilee?
