Disney on Ice

We went to see Disney on Ice this past weekend in Colorado Springs. It was nice the show was right in town and we didn't have to drive to Denver or anything. The kids were really excited about the show. Matthew kept asking me if Mickey Mouse was going to be there. The theme was Disney princesses, so I wasn't sure if Mickey would be there or not, or if Matthew would enjoy all the girliness, but it all worked out. Mickey and Minnie and Goofy were there, along with characters from a bunch of Disney princess movies, so Matthew was satisfied with that.

The first half of the show they did little excerpts from Aladdin, Mulan, The Little Mermaid, Snow White, Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast. Then they had a little intermission and the second half of the show was a longer version of Cinderella. It was cute. I think Anna's favorite part was when they sang Under the Sea from Little Mermaid and Sebastian the crab danced and sang. I think that was my favorite part too. Matthew liked it any time Mickey Mouse came out, which he did three times or so. Neither of the kids liked it when the villains showed up or when the pyrotechnics were used. We still had fun though.
Scott had to maneuver the crowds and stands with his crutches and the seating was a little cramped, but we were glad he could come with us.

Here we are waiting for the show to start.

Matthew wanted to see the ice at intermission.

Anna with her souvenir Tinkerbell spinner. Does she look happy to have it? Matthew got a sword, which he kept sheathing and unsheathing all through the show. We had fun!
