I'm excited to be writing my first real blog on our website, but I'm not excited that our fun-filled family weekend is over :(
We spent the first weekend of March 2010 in Council Bluffs and Omaha, going to a Disney on Ice show, a great restaurant and arcade called The Amazing Pizza Machine, the Omaha Zoo and I can't forget our super nice hotel! We definitely had a ton of fun and I hope it's something Cade remembers for a long time.
We left Ames Saturday morning at 8:00 am to get to Council Bluffs for Disney on Ice at 11:00. Of course, the first thing we had to do first was check out all the vendors set up outside the arena. With all the lights and music, Cade couldn't wipe the smile off his face. I think he thought THIS was the show! We had to get a little something, even though most of it was overpriced and cheaply made. Cade settled on a Buzz Lightyear toy for $12 whose paint will probably chip off within a month or so. He loved playing with it before the show though. I also had to get a big book program for him to keep and we got a picture of him next to a Woody & Buzz prop. We also had to get some snacks of course, and Cade loved the popcorn. He doesn't like cotton candy so much (the texture throws him off) but he LOVED he foam Nemo hat that came with it!
With our tickets, we got a free Kodak one-use camera for Cade to take his own pictures. I'm excited to get them developed and he's actually a very good photographer for only being 3 so I hope at least a few turn out! We had front row seats which I was super excited about, but they were RIGHT next to the castle backdrop, all the way at one end of the ice, which happened to be the BACK of the performing area. All the big stuff happened on the other end of the ice and most of the time the actors faced the other direction too. Towards the end of the 2-hour show, Cade started to get tired and bored (the only characters and movies/shows he's seen were Mickey Mouse and Friends, Finding Nemo and The Incredibles. Overall though, I think he enjoyed the show.
