Princesses on Ice

This weekend, Hannah and I took the girls to see Disney Princesses on Ice. We had a wonderful time (barring the flat tire we had on the way to Savannah). The show began at 3:30, so we left early in order to have enough time to eat somewhere nice. I seriously think that the girls would have been happy just to have hung out in downtown Savannah all day. The weather was beautiful, so there were people out everywhere. We ended up eating a really good meal at the Cafe at City Market. After lunch, we walked to the Civc Center for the show.

After navigating the maze of venders' booths, we found our way to our seats. I now understand why the tickets to get in were so cheap- because they plan to sell you everything under the sun at ridiculously high prices once you're in. Anyway, I was really happy with the location of our seats. We were right near the front by the castle. The show began and the girls were so happy. It was like two hours of total bliss for them. I looked at their little faces and they were grinning ear-to-ear the entire time. The show was basically a synopsis of all of the princess tales, and it featured all of the kids' favorite princesses- Jazmine, Ariel, Aurora, Mulan, Snow White, Belle, and Cinderella. I was so impressed by the quality of the show. It was way beyond my expectations. For the grand finale, all of the pricesses plus Mickey, Minnie, Tinkerbell, and Goofy skated around and ended up on the castle waving at everyone. In the eyes of a four-year-old girl, this is complete magic. Seeing our sweeties so happy softened Hannah and I up to the point where we were willing to buy a souvenir for the girls. So, each got a dishwasher safe Tinkerbell cup that came with a snowcone in it. The show definitely left an impression on Olivia. She has been "ice skating" all over our kitchen floor today.
