Disney On Ice!

This morning John and I took Big Sister to Disney On Ice (Grammie watched Little Bud, so that she could enjoy a date with just Dad and Mom).  She had originally planned to dress as a princess, but changed her mind last minute, deciding to wear her Minnie Mouse dress and her new sparkly red shoes.  We ended up with great seats for the show.  TicketMaster makes choosing seats online almost impossible (you're basically stuck with whatever seats the computer wants you to have), so I called in to order our tickets.  We were able to get front row rink side seats for the same price as the mid level seats (which are still a little pricey, but having the better seats made the price a little easier to swallow!)

Big Sister seemed to enjoy the entire show, although the second half was definitely more exciting than the first.  There were a few characters she was unfamiliar with (we haven't let her watch all of the Disney movies yet, because some are a bit too scary, and she also seems to have a hard time realizing they're make believe - she cried for several hours after watching The Fox and The Hound!).  At intermission, we let her pick out a souvenir; her choice was Mickey Mouse binoculars (lucky for us it was the cheapest thing they had for sale!).  We were kind of surprised she didn't want a plush princess doll or even a Barbie type princess doll, but she had her heart set on the binoculars.  She actually used them to watch much of the second half of the show.  On the way home, she chose to eat at Chipotle for lunch; she loves a good black bean quesadilla!

Ready to GO!
