Disney's Frozen on Ice

After buying tickets an entire year in advance, the long awaited day to go to Disney's Frozen on Ice arrived yesterday!  I took a total gamble last year and bought four tickets with the hope that Logan would have matured enough in twelve months to be able to join Lia, Ron, and me.  I am happy to say that he did a great job and sat still in his seat and quietly watched the show the entire time!  That was a major relief.  The four of us had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed this two hour production.  They did such a great job retelling this beloved movie from beginning to end.  I'm so glad that we were able to go and very thankful for my mom who drove down from Issy to watch baby Ella the entire time we were gone.

Lia's last soccer game of the season was unfortunately scheduled for the same morning as Disney on Ice.  We were able to go and watch her play for the first half of the game before leaving.  Although she only knew two kids on the team before starting (her good friend, Lilah, and a boy, Austin, from school), Lia ended up being on a team with a really nice group of kids with really nice parents.  I'm actually going to miss seeing these people every week.  This is the funny picture they took before their final game showing off their team numbers while facing the wall.  From left to right:  Lilah, TK, Fletcher, Cannon, Austin, Bradly, Alyssa, and Lia.

After fighting some crazy traffic, we made it to the Showare Center with 45 minutes to spare.  Here are Logan, Lia, and me in the lobby amongst the rows and rows of Disney goods for sale.
