Disney on Ice

Forgive me, but I am behind once again! With school starting, my life has been upside down :-) Two weeks ago, we went to go see Disney on Ice. My mom and I took the three oldest kids with Cara, Mason, and Meg. They all had so much fun! The show was comprised of "Cars", "Little Mermaid", "Lion King", and the main event was "Tinkerbell"..... oh and of course Mickey, Minnie, and the other main characters were there also. We rode the metro (train) over to the event center and the kids thought that the train ride was their surprise for the day! Drew especially loved it.

Once we got to the actual event center, Heidi and Zach were pretty excited to see exactly what was going on, but Zach was starting to get pretty tired too. After posing for some pictures in front of some of the princess displays (that was an early event you could take advantage of, but it was so crowded it wasn't really worth it),


we found our seats and went on concession runs. The kids got to enjoy popcorn, snow cones, cotton candy, etc... pretty much everything that they are usually told "no" to, so they knew this was going to be a big deal! This is the end of the row (minus Drew, me and my mom):

A few pictures from the show:






The finale was just beautiful with all the colors and all the major Disney characters coming back out! All the kids had so much fun, and the looks on their faces were just priceless. Heidi said her favorite was Tinkerbell, and Drew and Zach liked Cars. Zach ended up fighting off sleep until the train ride back home, but Drew only made it shortly past intermission :-)


Once we got back to Grammy's house, all the toys and goodies the kids got at the show made an appearance. The cotton candy came with cute little hats attached to it. The "girl" one was a flower from Tinkerbell, and the "boy" one was lightning mcqueen. Heidi also got a cinderella barbie and a tinkerbell t-shirt that she bought with her birthday money. Zach got a sword and Drew got some Mickey Mouse binoculars which are very cute!




I was so proud of the kids that day. They all behaved so well, sat still, and didn't give us any troubles, despite the lack of nap and excess of sugar :-) Makes me confident that we can enjoy another event like that some day!
