Priceless

We went uptown to see Disney on Ice Worlds of Fantasy last night. In the rain, in Charlotte traffic...oh what fun...but look how pretty the buildings look (Minus the crane, and construction) in the fog:


The Show itself, was wonderful. We got to see lots of Disney Characters, and they condensed The Little Mermaid and The Lion King down into 2 20 minute segments. My only issue with this...We know Mufasa dies in the Lion King (sorry to ruin it if you never saw it, and if you never saw it...it's time to come out from under your rock). But they had to reenact the death scene on Ice...And at Mommy's first sniffle...Kelsey wanted to bury her head...yes we're at the age when Mom does things (nothing out of the norm) and Kelsey gets embarrassed...I toy with her. Like a cat with a mouse. I sang along to all the songs, I cried, I clapped, I waved to the characters. Mortification....but the best was when we asked for Pennants for the kids for souvenirs and I asked for a "Cars" one and a "Stinkybell" one. Yes, I call Tinkerbell Stinkybell, and it makes Kelsey MAD (cat toying with mouse!). In my defense I have been calling her that for years and last night I did it without thinking...Until the Concierge LAUGHED and Kelsey gave a sharp "MOM". My Bad.

We got home around 10 and the kids get up at 6 for school...note to self: No matter how good a deal, don't take the kids out late on school nights...Kels is CRANKY in the AM...She is her Mothers Daughter...and I am NOT a morning person!
Here are some of the better pics from the evening:
