Disney on Ice

On Saturday, we braved a major snowstorm and headed to the United Center to see Disney on Ice. Joel stayed home with Grandpa and Grandma, but the two older kids got to go spend an afternoon having a blast! Though it took awhile to get there and back due to the weather, it was well worth the hassle.  Caleb and Leah both LOVED seeing so many of their favorite Disney characters performing on ice. The show was quite entertaining as it managed to include dozens of classic characters and songs from tons of different Disney movies. They had fun trying to name each of the characters as they came on stage and there were only a few that they didn't recognize. Leah couldn't contain her excitement and talked at full volume the entire time. The family in front of us found it quite amusing that she'd constantly ask (in her naturally loud voice), "Daddy, who's that?", "Daddy, what are they doing?", "Daddy, look at them!". Caleb just sat in awe of the ice skaters and sang along with some of the familiar music. The biggest surprise was that Leah managed to remain calm and didn't fear the costumed characters (which tends to be one of her biggest fears in life). When asked why she didn't seem bothered by them, she said that it was because they were busy ice skating and wouldn't come near her.
