A day out with the kids- Disney on Ice!

Last week, I swept up some of the Grand Fairies to go to Disney on Ice. Or as I told them to refer to it, Grammie's Day of Fun. 

We all dressed in our finery and set off for KC while watching movies in the car on the way.
 Poor Clover wasn't feeling her best, but had plenty of smiles during the program.

Sugarwings had so much fun, she couldn't stop hugging, kissing, squeezing and loving on anyone near her. And her smile never left her face.

While Fin isn't as big of a princess fan as the rest of the crew, he still enjoyed the show. And when it got too syrupy, he took a few bathroom breaks to get up and move around. 

I think he'll make a fine boyfriend/husband for a lucky girl someday. Not only is he cute as a bug, he is sensitive and can enjoy a day out with the girls. And is smart enough to know when he needs a little break from girly stuff, but polite enough to get away for a few moments without complaining or causing a fuss.

We arrived a bit early and spent some time wandering around, enjoying the crowds and looking at the Disney merchandise.  Not that we bought any, geesh.  The prices were not tempting (well to me, at least) to heavy shopping. The snacks too. Heck, I thought movie theater popcorn was high, but at least that comes with a free refill.  At this place, it was $12 for a bucket. 

I'd brought some snacks for us, and was glad that I did.

We had fun without buying cheap plastic toys without cheap price tags. We took photos of each other, and rode the escalator.  It was one of the tallest ones I've ever seen.  You could tell we live in a town without big buildings, we were very entertained by riding up and down like country hicks while waiting for the show.

The show itself was a lot of fun, I'll definately go back for another one some day. 

Afterwards, we made a stop at TRex for an exciting lunch to make up for Grammie being too thrifty to buy the $12 popcorn at the show.

And after that was a stop for chocolates and jelly beans at Russel Stover, and then home to dye Easter Eggs.

I'm not sure who had the best time that day, but I think it might have been me.

I just love how the kids are dressed! You described the outing so very well. I almost feel like I was there. And if i HAD been there, I would have felt the same way you did about the $12 popcorn! Wowza.

I had to smile at your calling yourselves country hicks while you enjoyed the repeat escalator rides in the "big city." Ha! Hey, escalators are definitely kid magnets, and they are free. Definitely a good way to pass the time!

gorgeous children, and my word, not only does Sugarwings look so grown up, but doesn't she look like you? Never noticed that before!

Thank you for your comment, it was so good to see a little pawprint from you :O)

I can see I have much to catch up on here. It's on my To Do list!
