This was Maggie's first actual outing and she did such a great job. I had wanted to take the girls to Disney on Ice for a long time and finally they were coming to area. I talked Mom into coming with us, although it didn't take much convincing.
So we packed up the girls and headed out to the new Showare Center in Kent. I had never been there and was really nervous about where to park and where to go. Of course we got a late start and by the time we parked and got inside the show had already started. Luckily it was only the story of Cars so we didn't miss much.
From the moment we sat down Maggie's eyes were huge and she couldn't take her eyes off the action. Emma thought it was loud and bright and covered her eyes with a Webkin and her ears with her hands for the first 10 minutes. But she eventually got used to it and enjoyed the show with the rest of us.
Both girls did well throughout the show. At intermission Mom bought them both a a snow cone in a Tinkerbell cup. At $14 a piece they will treasure those cups for a long time. Maggie thought it was pretty funny when she realized that Tinkerbell was also out on the ice she squealled with delight and pointed to her smiling from ear to ear.
The show included the stories of Cars, The Little Mermaid, The Lion King and Tinkerbell. I liked the Tinkderbell story the most it was a cute story, and new to me I hadn't seen the movie yet. Emma liked the Lion King and Maggie LOVED it when Mickey, Minnie, Goofy and Donald all came out and waved to the crowd. I said "Look Maggie Mickey Mouse is waving at YOU!" She smiled so big and with her head tilted and her arm stiff to her side-she waved back. I asked her if she wanted her picture taken with him and she said yes!! YIPEE!!! So after the show ended we went to the lobby hoping to find Mickey Mouse. Both girls were so patient and both actually wanted to get a picture taken. But after several minutes we decided to go with the statue of Mickey and Minnie instead. Both girls stood in line again and smiled so big. I told Emma if all I had to do was to get her a little sister to go to these things with and get her picture taken I would have done it along time ago!! She just smiled.
Another great memory for the girls....
