Macy: Guess what! Last night as we as we were walking back from canoeing we got a bit lost - but it was a lucky kind of lost because we found the wishing fountain! We all made secret wishes. I’m sure they will all come true!
#Nipfest2025
#NipfestNewbies

Luna: Last night on the way back to the tent from canoeing we stumbled upon the entrance to the magic garden. I don’t know how we missed this when we visited before, It’s so beautiful!
#Nipfest2025
#NipfestNewbies

Luna: Precious wanted to come back for a long nighttime canoe ride. We love that idea! Was so great last night that we all agreed we want to do it again tonight!
Mitzi: We’re the lead boat - so, Precious, tell us which route you want to take!

May we join the fun? I don’t know how to combine our pics. Sorry.

Winnie: Maybe we should take a walk in the gardens before we fall asleep. We don’t want to miss the Disco.
Luna: Good idea! Keep active!
Macy: Wow! It was magical at night - but this is gorgeous in the daylight!

Luna: Let’s relax before heading over to the Skool Disco.
Macy: I’m running low on energy.
Mitzi: Would you like some of my secret nip stash?
Macy: Yes, please. But…just a tiny bit.
Luna: Take it easy ladies. I can’t carry you back to the tent!
