Today's costume program was a hoot....we met some amazing people ...some made us laugh,some shared some wisdom and some sparkled so beautifully from their soles that they took or breath away ✨️

We officially dressed our youngest visitor, and what a handsome young squire he is.

There was a group of extremely generous tourists and a wardrobe malfunction that we won't let our much loved youngest member forget any time soon.

All in all a wonderful day.

Next costume program sept 21st at 11am-2pm
