"I'd rather go to school"

For the past few days, we have been telling Ellie that we were going some place special and really fun on Friday. Her guesses: the grocery store, the cookie mall (the mall that sells her favorite cookies), and Mimi and Boppa's house. We promised her it would be more fun than all of those! Last night we finally told her that we were going to go see Disney on Ice. She had no idea what that was so we showed her a video preview. I don't think that she completely got it because she said that she would rather go to school!

Today she was on the edge of her seat all morning in anticipation of going. She had lots of questions about what was going to happen and what characters would be there. What we didn't tell her was that her BFF and family were meeting us there! When we walked down to our seats, Ellie was so excited to see them. The show itself was fun but a little long for the adults. Ellie was glued from the moment it started and she got into it much more than we thought she would. She was clapping, waving, and doing whatever they asked the audience to do. She had such a great time! We definitely plan on going to something like this again!

Audrey got a ride in the Baby Bjorn

"I can't wait for the show to start!!"




The girls got to sit together and share popcorn.















Ellie's favorite parts were when Cinderella and Snow White came out of course!

Hey! What do you mean "more fun than Mimi and Boppa's house"? That can't be true!!!!!! We are going to have to step up our act here. Riding in the wagon to CVS and riding the Big Wheels on our street may not be exciting enough for the Disney girl!

Audrey doesn't seem all that thrilled. She is looking at Ellie like she is saying, "You call this exciting?????"

I was wondering if Mimi was going to catch that!! LOL

Looks like Ellie had a blast. I'm sure she didn't mind missing school for this outing:) And I'm sure Lori enjoyed the day off!

Why yes, I DID enjoy the day off! I even took Ellie grocery shopping alone later in the day. You want to know what's even more fun than Disney on Ice??? Napping! ;-)

Glad to hear Ellie had a lot of fun!

And I agree Aunt Lori, napping sounds way more fun than Disney on Ice! (and most anything, really!)
