We started off by going to D on I Thursday evening. Kay had a field trip that day, then we went that evening so she was just absolutely hyperly excited Thursday. She didn't have school the following day because it was a teacher work day so that kind of was the beginning of Spring Break.
This Disney on Ice was relatively new so we had never seen it before and I think it was my favorite by far. (Some of these you may have to enlarge to see what they are).
Awwww... Dopey. (First time we've seen him as part of a show I think)
There were more characters and classic characters included in the opening and grand finale than we had ever see at one of these shows. In this picture of the big opening scene, you can see: Mickey, Minnie, Pluto, the White Rabbit and Tweedle Dee or Dum (from Alice in Wonderland) in the back. In the front is Tinker Bell, Peter Pan, Snow White, Dopey, Belle, Prince Eric and Ariel, Jasmine and Aladdin, Cinderella and Prince Charming, Alice and the Mad Hatter.
Another shot of the opening.
Sorcerer Mickey from the classic "The Sorcerer's Apprentice".
Villains including Captain Hook, the evil - umm..person from Sleeping Beauty, the queen/old woman from Snow White, Cruella DeVille, and Jafar.
In this show, the fairy godmother turned Minnie into a princess and of course Mickey came out as the prince - very cute!
The "Christmas part" of the show.
JESSIE!!!!
Some of us were quite excited when she came skating out. This is the first time we have seen a DOI show that included the Toy Story characters.
Hammie, Jessie, Buzz and Woody.
And the tent... I found this bed tent back after Christmas at Wal-mart and it was marked WAY down on clearance. It has been "put back" in the closet for a birthday or something. But by the second full day home of Kay's Spring Break, she was getting... restless to put it mildly. I decided to get it out as something special and different. It was (and still is) a big hit. She read books in there, sat her little pink chair in there and watched youtube videos on her computer, played with her toys, etc.
She was determined that she wanted to sleep in it that night. It is actually a bed tent that is made to fit over twin size beds but since her bed is smaller than a twin, it doesn't fit exactly right so she just uses it as a regular inside tent.
I was afraid that if she woke up in the night and was in the tent, she would be really afraid. Ironically, she is less afraid sleeping in the tent. We've had some trouble with her staying in her room recently because she wakes up in the middle of the night and is scared. Every night since she has slept in the tent, she has stayed in her room all night. Oh yeah, and guess who thinks they have to help "put her to bed" wherever she's sleeping? :-) He will eventually get up or down (if she's in bed) and go somewhere else ususally, but he thinks he HAS to be with her when she first goes to bed.
We had it in the living room the first night but now it's back in her bedroom.
Megan came over on Saturday and they had a blast. They started out outside. Kevin was out working in the yard and Kay was out there bouncing the basketball and Megan came out and was playing with her. When Kevin was ready to come inside, he had them both come in and they played and played. Here they're playing with Kay's castle and toys.
They played with Kaelyn's McDonalds food and toys in the tent.
Then Kaelyn showed Megan how to play Starfall on the computer. She [Kay] told me that she was doing the capital letters and Megan was doing the lowercase letters. :-)
