Disney on Ice

Ellie and her Tinkerbell toy.

Maryn, Ellie, and a Minnie Mouse snow cone.

Alaina and I took Ellie to Disney on Ice yesterday. Alaina and I have fond memories of going to the show with mom and our cousins when we were little, so expectations were high. Each year we used to get a snow cone in a character cup, so we hit the snow cone stand first thing. Ellie was all excited about the snow cone and a Tinkerbell light spinner we got her. As soon as we got to our seats, she decided that she didn't like her snow cone and didn't want in anymore. We set it to the side and of course Alaina and I spilled it before the show even started. Fortunately, the Energy Solutions Arena is on a tilt or something because gravity was on our side. When the snow cone melted it ran downhill from us... Our shoes didn't even get sticky. I could hear the mom next to us telling her daughter not to put her feet down. Embarrassing...

The theme this year was Mickey and Minnie's Magical Adventure...or something like that. They re-enacted The Lion King, The Little Mermaid, Lilo and Stitch, and Peter Pan. Ellie liked Ariel and Tinkerbell the best. Also, she liked any costume that sparkled. I liked the pirates from Peter Pan. I hated Lilo and Stitch, but then that's not my favorite movie. I'm so glad we went because Ellie really loved it. I think she's the perfect age for it. She loved the characters, but could also appreciate the skating. It was a fun girls day out.

Here are Ariel and Prince Eric... Ellie's favorite.

This is the pirate ship from Peter Pan.
