Last night the family went to Disney on Ice. We love Disney on Ice and were excited to go last night!! Dare to Dream featured Princess Tiana from ‘Princess and the Frog,’ Cinderella and Rapunzel from ‘Tangled.’ The show didn’t disappoint at all!! The skating was amazing, the music was great and the entire atmosphere was so fun!! Livie was in heaven and loved watching Rapunzel fly through the air, but her favorite part was when surprise guests came at the end… (SPOILER: Other Disney princesses!!!) I took pictures, but they didn’t turn out all that great. That’s what happens when you forget your camera and try to take pics with an iPod Touch. You’ll have to excuse the lame photos…

BONUS ENTRIES:

I had to opportunity to attend Disney On Ice: Princess Wishes. Man, we’ve gone to Mickey’s Rockin’ Roadshow and Ringling Bros. Circus, but I have to admit I loved Disney on Ice the best!! We had AMAZING seats- 2nd row from the floor. And as a bonus, I got to sit by my friend, Brandy, over at Not So Average Mama. I knew she would be there, but it was fun to discover our seats were right next to each other! (Fun for me anyways… you’ll have to ask her what she thought about my singing the entire show…)  I grew up LOVING Disney. We used to listen to Disney music on vacation… on purpose. So, all the songs were familiar to me and the stories too! Here are few of the better pics I got. I am a lame photographer. Every time I snapped, they bowed, or turned or someone jumped in front of me…

I loved the show and so did Sei, Taj, Liv, Isabel, my sister Ali and Isabel’s friend, Emily. Taj was worried it would be all “girl princess stuff…” Not at all!! Aladdin was the 1st scene of the show and he was loving it. But when the dragon set the ice on fire– Taj was in awe!! Sei didn’t want to go either, but got wrangled in to it. He thoroughly enjoyed himself. Thank you Disney on Ice and Feld Entertainment!!

I took the kids letterboxing. What’s letterboxing, you ask? It’s kind of like geocaching, except you don’t use a GPS. You follow clues and directions left by fellow letterboxers to find the hidden box. In the box is a stamp and a notepad. You also carry your own stamp and notepad. Once you find the box you stamp YOUR stamp in the notepad left in the box and stamp your pad with THEIR stamp. It’s kind of like collecting stamps on a passport combined with a scavenger hunt. The kids and I weren’t quite sure if it would be fun. Tristan, Alec and Isabel had been geocaching before so I was afraid it would pale in comparison. WRONG! They said letterboxing was more fun! We went several times over the Thanksgiving holiday.  We even hid a few of our own. If you go on Letterboxing.org we are “G-Force.” Our stamp is a snake with a G on it.

Stay tuned for more November updates…. I didn’t really do any Black Friday shopping, but will share a couple of Christmas purchases with you in my next post. I did attempt to go to Toys R Us, but the line TO GET IN THE STORE was 1/2 a mile long. So, I stuck with online shopping.

Wednesday nite Taj, Livie, Sei and I were able to go to the circus in Fort Worth. And not just any circus- the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus! I had 3 tickets for Tristan, Alec and Isabel but they left town with the ex so my friend and her daughter came. It was great. The show was really amazing. It was 2 hours, which never seems like a short amount of time with Livie, but it went by so quickly.  The clowns were funny. The tigers were awesome.  The acrobats were insane!!! Taj is still talking about “the Spiderman guy who walked on the ceiling…” But my fave part by far was th

e Torres Family  Motorcycle Mania. OMGosh y’all- they had  SEVEN motorcycles inside a 16 foot steele sphere- all at the same time. I was so STRESSED during their performance- but in an adrenaline pumping way. It was AMAZING!!

Thank you Feld Entertainment & Mom Central for the tickets. The seats were awesome. We were 6 rows back from the floor. I couldn’t believe it!! It will be a nite my kiddos and I remember for a long time.
