Clothes day...kids in costumes

I had barely had time to drop my bag and change my clothes after I arrived on Naifaru when it was off to clothes day. A family festival where the kids get dressed up in all sorts of costumes.

Little red riding hood, tigers, princesses, mermaids, soldiers, fairies, robin hood, builders. you name it, they had a costume for it! The girls had their hair tied up in elaborate dos or hidden under long, flowing wigs. The boys have theirs slicked back into mohawks and spiky styles. The girls faces are made up with beautiful colours while boys sport aviator sunnies and act oh so suave.

There was even a catwalk for the kids to show off and strut their stuff with proud parents standing attentively at the end snapping photo after photo.

I have never seen so many cute kids in one place!

The next day, we saw the kids dressed up in their costumes at preschool. Some looked slightly disheveled as if they'd slept in their beautiful costumes all night. Others - like the tigers - appeared to have had their faces repainted and looked as fresh as ever.
