Disney on Ice

We concluded our day-after-Thanksgiving festivities by going to Disney on Ice in the JD box seats. The kids were so excited. Lauren about jumped out of her skin when she saw Ariel. The was only one disappointment per child. Lauren: disappointed that Ariel didn't personally tell her "hi". The generic waving to everyone in the crowd wasn't enough for her. After all, she was screaming "Hi Ariel" as loud as she could and about waved until her arm fell off, and Ariel couldn't say "Hi Lauren." :) Poor child. Ryan: disappointed that Cinderella wasn't there. Yep. I'm not even going to say any more about that.

Anyway, it was a really good show. They started with The Lion King, then went to The Little Mermaid, followed by Lilo & Stitch. Each one was a little bit longer than the previous one. However, the entire second half was Peter Pan. Interestingly enough, out of all of those, Lauren's only seen Peter Pan. Yet, she loved the whole thing. She knew about The Lion King & Ariel from books and her friend Emma (who likes to be called Ariel). She had never heard of Lilo & Stitch, but she enjoyed watching it nonetheless. That perplexed me all night. Lilo & Stitch?? Why not Belle, or Cinderella, or some other cartoon. Whatever. Anyway, here are pictures.
This video doesn't even capture a small fraction of how excited the kids were that night.

Oh I wanted to take Charlotte to that! But, I think she may be a little to young. Maybe when Charlotte gets a little older...like the next time around, we could all go together!!
It looks like it was time well spent on your end.
