Sunday Funday: Gymnastics and Disney on Ice!

The second to last weekend in October, Brooke and I bought Disney on Ice tickets for Olivia and Addie back in August.  The girls went last year and were super excited to go again this year.  Before we went to Disney on Ice, the girls had gymnastics as usual on Sunday at noon.  They had a lot of fun.  Then we went home for a few hours and then got ready to go to Disney on Ice.

The girls both decided they wanted to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast this year.  They had just done a new movie of Beauty and the Beast earlier in the year with live actors.  They both happened to have Belle costumes which was also nice.  We carpooled together and got some pictures of the girls out in front of our house before we left.  We got to the Moda Center quickly but traffic around the Moda Center was bad so it took us almost 20 minutes to get a parking spot.  We were able to get a few pictures out in front of the Moda Center and we ran into Olivia's good friend Kennedy from her school.

Silly girls!

We got into the Moda Center right when it was starting.  Our seats were pretty good.  The theme this year was "Follow your Heart" and it started out with Riley with the movie "Inside Out."  Then the emotions kept going back to various Disney princess stories.  They had quite a long segment on Beauty and the Beast that the girls enjoyed.  They had Little Mermaid as well and several other princess theme segments.  At intermission we let the girls get a treat and they chose Snow Cones again this time in Elsa and Anna cups.

We came back and they had a few more stories and then had Frozen at the end.  Both Olivia and Addie were mesmerized still by Frozen and loved it.  They sang and danced to "Let it Go."  It was really cute watching them.  The ice skating was very good this time as well as the props.  Some of the ice skaters even went high into the air.  It was a very good show and the girls are already talking about going back next year.
