Princesses on Ice

Recently we joined a few friends to see Disney Princesses on Ice at the local Arena.  I'm a sucker for a good show especially if it involves Disney music.  My sister and I are known to break into our 20-year-old repertoire of Disney Songs loudly and often. "Colors of the Wind" anyone? "Part of your world"?  

So, given my penchant for a good Alan Menken tune, this show ended up being even better than I expected!  Complete with fireworks, pretty impressive figure skating in full costumes, and a dragon breathing actual fire on the ice, it was pretty awesome.  Oh, and Ella would want me to mention the enormous bag of Cotton Candy i got her at intermission.  That might have been her favorite part.  She did enjoy the show but she's a sucker for big bags of spun sugar too.  And it's ok because she's just beginning her schooling in the wonderful world of Disney Songs.  She's almost got down the lyrics to "A Whole New World."  That's my girl :-)

Disney on Ice

Yesterday we went with a group of friends to see Disney on Ice! The kids loved the spectacle of it all and were totally into it even though there wasn't as much pre-school focused action or characters as I'd hoped. Nevertheless, we all had a fun time!


The kids snacked the ENTIRE show. Good thing all four moms had full purses of goodies and they didn't confiscate them at the entrance :-)


Hope was the youngest kid there and Holly didn't know if she'd be into it but she totally was!

You can tell Lexi was just humoring me with a grin for the camera...genuine happiness came later when she saw Snow White and Cinderella!

The show was pretty impressive-complete with pyrotechnics and all kinds of fancy skating tricks.

At one point we chanted "Mickey Minnie!" over and over while clapping to free them from their laser prisons (like I said, the story was a little more fitting for school-age kids than pre-school). But Ella was totally into it! I'm so thankful to be able to do things like this with her :-)
