100 Years of Disney on Ice

After the small birthday party we had for my Mom, we headed down to Bakersfield for our show. I dressed Katie in a shirt Ashleigh bought her for her birthday. I picked it because it was Mickey & Friends, and since the show was Disney, it matched the occasion lol. It took about 2 and a half hours to get there, but it was relaxing. Desiree had to sit on the floor of the backseat, because we didn't want to take two cars lol. We didn't all fit since we had two carseats :/ Katie fell asleep for most of it, and David was playing with his blocks and Katie's ball. Desiree, my Mom, Mary, and I just talked the whole way up. We stopped by Burger King on the way because I was starving, and then we continued on our way. We got there a few minutes before it opened, so we waited on the steps. When it opened we all went to the restroom real quick after the long trip. There were snacks set up all over the place, yum. They had a cute little set up of Toy Story where you could take a pic with Woody and Buzz, but they didn't come out that great, so we didn't buy them. Even with our cameras they still came out dark :/ We went inside to find our seats and all took pictures with the ice rink and castle in the back, except for Mary who is camera shy sometimes lol. It was cute. Our seats weren't together because we didn't buy the tickets at the same time, but luckily, we were in the same section, 2 rows apart. Some coincidence! I was glad. We were close to the side, but we were pretty close to the ice, so they were pretty good seats. While waiting for the show Desiree, Mary, and I went to buy a snack (pretzels with cheese for Desiree and me, and popcorn for Mary). My Mom bought a snow cone in a Mickey head from a vendor walking around by our seats. The show started and we sat and watched. Katie was clapping and enjoying herself for most of the show. She did get antsy for a while, but she sat down again soon enough. It was so cute to see her sitting there eating popcorn and watching the show, like she's a big girl :p I love the picture I have of it. When it was intermission my Mom and I moved back one row because it was empty except for 2 little girls, and Mary, Desiree, and David joined us, so we were all able to sit together for the second half. David was kind of tired since he didn't sleep in the car, so he was kind of antsy too. They lasted through the show though, and I think they both liked it. Walking to the parking lot we saw a man selling little light up toys and I bought one for Katie and Mary got one for David. They played with them for a few minutes in the car, and then fell asleep for the rest of the drive :) Desiree wanted to sit on the seat to be comfortable, so she sat in his carseat and put him on her lap, until we asked her why the heck she sat in the carseat...then she put it in the back and let David sleep on her, on the seat like a normal person lol. Katie woke up 20 minutes before we got home, but she just sat there quietly, drinking her milk we stopped to get her. It was a fun trip, I hope my Mom had a fun birthday :)
