The Georgia Renaissance Festival

The princess and I spent Mother's Day at The Georgia Renaissance Festival.  I hadn't been in years and it was Olivia's first time going.  Needless to say it was right up her ally! She IS a princess after all!

Here's the princess ready to start her day. 

Mother Goose

The village liar.  I think I was married to him........

And she said there wouldn't be dragons!

Watching the joust.

This was Olivia's favorite part of the day..........when the knight refused to begin the joust because, as he said, "I'm posing for my people!" She quoted that ALL DAY LONG!

Just what every little princess needs.......a giant turkey leg!

The crowning of King Henry

Posing with King Henry and Queen Anne.

A little face painting was in order.

A picture perfect princess.

We love the pirates!

Olivia was a little concerned when these pirates said,  "We won't try to steal ya when yer mama's not looking!"   I'm not sure I believed them either!

Not quite a fire-breathing dragon but close!

Spring Concert

We've had a very busy month of May! It started with Olivia's Spring Concert.  This was her first year to perform with the upper school.  I can't believe how much she has grown and learned since that first dance class five years ago.  Soon she will be dancing on her toes and I'll be working two jobs to keep her in pointe shoes!

Here is the princess ready for her first performance, tapping to "On the Good Ship Lollipop."  There was an en masse "AWWWWW" when the littlest dancers took the stage. 

Olivia and two of her classmates

The whole gang. Most of these girls have been dancing together for years.
