Lots of exciting things have been happening "on ice" around here.
First was..."Disney on Ice"
I took Maura and Audra to see the show on January 1st. A fun way to start the new year!
Charlotte, Uncle Tim and Aunt Dawn came too!
Mickey (in traditional Chinese dress) and Mulan were a favorite:
And there was a Chinese Dragon dance!
Maura's BFF Tori was there too...
she was just four rows in front of us with her parents!
All the girls were spoiled with Mickey balloons from Uncle Tim
"Audra on Ice"
It was just as thrilling...but in a completely different way!
She was excited to put her skates on. I found a tiny pair of size 6 ice skates at the local children's consignment store for just $4.25. I couldn't pass up the bargain!
I was surprised at how well she was able to stand on the skates. She was even walking around in them a bit.
Once she was on the ice it wasn't so easy for her!
But she wouldn't give up!
Daddy would do a lap with her, then give her (and his back) a break. And she kept asking to skate some more. Which I was so surprised about. She is usually fearful of new things, but she wasn't scared of ice skating one little bit.
Our weekend was jam-packed full of fun...
here are just a few of the things we did:
Audra's 1st time bowling:
She wasn't too interested in it at first, but then was willing to give it a try after seeing all the other kids celebrating their strikes and spares. It was bumper bowling, so there was a lot of celebrating going on :)
She looked adorable in her bowling dress...it was Maura's from a few years ago when Riley had a bowling birthday party.
Maura enjoyed some rock climbing...
in her pretty party dress!
And Riley had his second swim meet of the season...
and he got 1st place for the 25m backstroke!
Other weekend events not pictured:
go-karts,
arcade games,
seeing The Lego Movie,
Lacrosse practice and soccer playoffs
We were so busy this weekend,
spending a lot of time driving around from event to event...
which led to one little girl (who will remain anonymous)
creatively entertaining herself in the backseat of my van...
Tonight I am thankful for Magic Erasers!!
