A Disney Surprise

For all of you that think that South-Western Ontario doesn't get any snow, take a look at these pictures. The first one was taken from our front porch on Friday. It snowed quite a bit Saturday night, so at the moment there's actually more snow outside than this!

Check out the piles of snow!!

When our girls woke up, we told them that we had a surprise for them if they were good all day and if they had a nap at some point during the day. Well, they were good (actually cooperating together) and yes, they did have a nap. We finally told them at dinner time that we were going to see Disney On Ice that evening. This was definitely money well spent and a very nice preview of our vacation to Disney World this summer

Of course we bought each girl a $10 bucket of popcorn (plastic take home bucket with lid that says Disney and has Mickey, etc all over it) and a $10 Flounder (from Little Mermaid) cup Slush Drink.

Both girls were excited to see Ariel skating with Prince Eric!

Throughout the show there were skating segments based on Little Mermaid, Lilo & Stitch, Peter Pan & The Lion King. Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Daisy and Goofy introduced each segment. The entire show ran approximately 1 1/2 hour which included a 10 minute intermission.

Today, we spent the morning playing in the snow in the backyard and then after lunch we all had a nice nap. This made for a fun and relaxing Sunday at home!
