We visited the local solstice festival at a nearby arboretum yesterday. The weather was a little muggy, but didn't hit 95 like the day before, so we were grateful. The kids enjoyed themselves immensely in the beautiful gardens transformed by all the fairy-like activity.
Paul found the fairies hiding place.
The kids crossed over the bridge into the fairies frolic area where a drumming circle had commenced.
Elizabeth purchased a streaming halo.
Finn had a blast in the mist tent.
All the kids took a break to finish their snow cones.
We enjoyed the lovely flowers. (We were at the arboretum, after all.)
We kicked up our feet.
And got our faces, and arms, painted.
A midsummer night's dream was had by all...
What a fantastic celebration Joy, it all looks so wonderful. I love your gnomes from your previous post!
