So grandma Petersen decided a while ago that she wanted to plan a "girl's night out" to see Disney on Ice. It was going to be she, Ashley, me and Ashley's aunt, Katelyn. Then grandpa thought that Jordan might be bummed if he didn't get to go, so grandma invited Jordan also. So it was the "girls", and Jordan. He didn't feel out of place, although he did ask why dad, grandpa and uncle Donny were not coming. Oh well, he had fun.
Me, Ashley and aunt Katelyn, waiting for the show to start.
You should have seen my kids faces when the show started and Mickey, Minnie and Donald came skating out. I honestly can't remember the last time I saw them that excited.
I couldn't believe all the characters there. Lion King, Incredibles, Princesses, Nemo, Pinnochio, Mulan, Toy Story and probably more. Name them, they were there.
Of course, Ashley LOVED all the princesses. She did notice that they were all there, except Sleeping Beauty, but she said that was ok. :) She was sitting on the edge of her seat the whole show (2 hours). She started out sitting by me, and I moved her by grandma, so she could see how excited she was to be there. Jordan didn't really want to show how excited he was, but it was hard for him to play "cool". He leaned over to me in the middle of the show and said, "this is so cool, I want to cry". He says funny things sometimes.
I actually felt a little sad that my kids were SO excited, and that I have never taken them to anything like this before. I don't know why I feel guilty, but I do. This just makes me want to take them to Disneyland that much more and that much sooner. We had a great time. Thanks grandma Petersen!
I spoke with one of my friends the next morning, and told her the pictures I got, and she said on the ticket it said no cameras. I did not notice that. But I walked through the security check and I told them I have two cameras in my bag, and they just made jokes about how much stuff I had in my bag. (I came very prepared) So I don't know if I am suppose to have pictures or not. Oops, honest mistake. ;)

You naughty little photography rebel! I'd do the same thing, probably. My camera goes everywhere. Anyway-- I have to tell you we've been dragging our feet with the whole family vacation to Disneyland idea as well. It just doesn't sound fun to me! But I relate with you on the guilt thing. We've been talking the last few months about a winter trip there. Still not getting excited, though!
WOW!! Looks like lots of fun!! I am thrilled that you took your camera and got some pics even though you weren't "supposed" to. Anyhow...we just made plans and reservations at some hotels down in Anaheim for November 2009. I know it sounds like a long time away but oh well. We are going to go with Jake's entire family (Mom, Dad, Sister and her family, brother and his wife). We will be getting the City Passes so we can go to Disneyland, Universal Studios, San Diego Zoo and Sea World. The kids don't know yet and we wont tell them until MUCH closer, but we are excited!!! Anyhow...I hope you guys can work something out to take your kids soon I KNOW they would LOVE it!!! And believe it or not it's not as bad as you would think!!!
I'm glad they had a good time. I can just picture Ashley on the edge of her seat the whole time. Good thing Jordan didn't mind being with all the girls since the show was so good he wanted to cry :) - Hey, I'm happy to be a stop on your way to Disneyland, or better yet, tell me when you're going and maybe we'll join you for a few days. We have a time share by Disneyland we might be able to get into. We'll talk soon.
That looks great. Wanted to go but dont think Addy is quite to the age she will sit through two hours, Maybe next time.
I always enjoy seeing Disney on Ice. Our last one was Nemo. Looks like this one is just as good :)
