Disney on Ice

 Last Saturday we told the boys "we are going to do something we have never done before."  Josh and I are always on the look out for fun new experiences for our family.  They all started to guess what we could possibly be doing.  Usually they guess a lot of things we have done before mixed in with some off the wall things that I am not even sure exist.  This time Palmer guessed that we were going to watch "cup stacking".  Lincoln and Hunter quickly jumped on that band wagon and were so excited that this might be a possibility.  I personally have never even heard of cup stacking before, but apparently it is a real thing (the kids had a cup stacking assembly yesterday at school which they were thrilled about).  Josh and I got a good laugh out of that one.  They were excited when they found out it was Disney on Ice.  It has been on our list of "things to do with the kids before they are too old and think it is lame" list.  We finally did it. 

 We have been waiting for the time where there were actually boy things in the show.  A lot of them have been princesses lately (not that I would complain to go to those...)  When we were driving to the show and they were guessing they started seeing girls everywhere and they were wondering what was at the Delta Center that girls would like.  I was in a bit of a panic thinking that we had accidentally gotten tickets to a princess show, but luckily they started the show out with The Incredibles and my worries were put to rest :) 

 We are big fans of Peter Pan at our house.  We have read the book 3 times and both Hunter and Palmer have been Peter Pan for Halloween before.  The Disney movie is also a favorite.

Tinkerbell totally stole my hair style!

 I was wondering how McKay would be as he was really wild when we went to the Circus last year.  I was so glad though, he was interested in a lot of the show and thanks to a huge tub of popcorn, happy as a clam.

 A little bit of my worry that the kids were getting too old to like Disney on Ice came out when Lincoln leaned over and told me that the Lion Kind skaters didn't look like the characters in the movie.  I told him they weren't supposed to be exactly like those in the movie because then they couldn't skate.  He looked at me and said "these don't look anything like them.  I went on to explain how hard it would be to skate in a full lion suite...but I don't think he bought it.

Genius, although it definitely would have been more entertaining to see huge birds skating around.

 Anytime there was something flying over the ice rink it was fun for the boys.

 This lucky little girl got to send off a lantern with Rapunzel and Flyn Rider.  Even I was a little jealous :)

 McKay SELDOM falls asleep anywhere but in his bed (although he did fall asleep in the corner in nursery last Sunday).  He must of bee so tired because he crashed on Josh's lap.

 It was not a "princess show" but they still had the princesses come out at the end with their princes.  The bazillion little girls in the audience were thrilled about it.

 I have always loved Sleeping Beauty.

It was a great show!  We all had a fun time, Disney always does a good job.  I am glad that we finally got there!
