We have gone to Disney on Ice for the past two years and when I saw the advertisements for this year's performance I wondered if we should make it an official tradition and take Luke and Ruby for a third time. Right now it is pretty tough to turn down any type of fun like this because the kids have such a great time and are still so impressed by all of the magic. Their excitement started Saturday morning and continued all the way through the end of the show. They had so much fun dancing and singing and watching some of their favorite Disney stories - even better that it was all on real ice. Yesterday they thanked me and Tim several times for taking them, and then this morning Ruby walked in sleepily and said that she was still thinking about Disney on Ice and how fun it was. In other words, we definitely made the right decision to continue the tradition.
Watching them watch the show is my very favorite
There were some amazing aerial stunts on the ice
And of course Olaf was a crowd favorite
The ending is always the best when the entire cast comes out for one last number
After a lot of thought, and trying on a few other costumes, Ruby settled on her Anna dress to wear to the performance. The first year we went, we didn't know that kids dressed up so we just took Luke and Ruby in their regular clothes. When we got there and saw so many of the kids in costumes - imagine thousands of tiny little princesses - I was a little sad we hadn't realized that dressing up was a thing. We definitely learned our lesson and now we approach Disney on Ice as if Ruby were truly getting ready for a fancy ball. Luke has not been as interested in wearing a costume - last year he did wanted to be a pirate, but this year he was more interested in choosing his favorite shirt and boots.
After the show, Grandpa and Grandma took us to Little America Cafe for lunch. Tim and his parents told a lot of funny family stories which the kids loved - I think their favorites were of grandpa playing basketball on a donkey, Tim falling out of a hammock that had broken and landing on his grandma who was sleeping underneath, and of the time their cat got locked in the camper for several weeks. I'm sure my kids have no idea how lucky they are to be able to make these great memories with their grandparents, but I know that one day they will definitely realize how blessed they really were.
