Fairy Festival

Last weekend, we took a road trip out to Estrella Mountain Park (in Goodyear) for the Fairy Festival. Perhaps none of you have heard of it? It has kind of a cult following of strange folks, but it turned out to be very magical for the kids, and well worth the drive. Our kids got to meet all types of fairy people, ride unicorns, barter for gifts, frollick in the grassy knolls, dance to folk music, and eat their first veggie burgers (which turned out to be a hit, who knew?).
People kept coming up and taking pictures of this little fairy in the grass.Gabe bartered with this strange creature for sugar sticks and string bracelets.Ari got a temporary tattoo from this fairy. When she asked me what design I wanted, I told her just something pretty. She drew a side profile of a pink and purple butterfly that looked exactly like the HOPE for Ari butterfly. Hmmm...Isabella and this scary fairy had a staring contest. Bella won.Silly pretty.Ari and Daddy danced to the folk music band.Gabe climbed this tree, and wanted to climb higher.

Strange folk, indeed, but veggie burgers rock! Looks like it was a neat little adventure!
