Disney On Ice

Last week we had the opportunity to go to Disney On Ice with Hope Kids. At first, I felt bad signing up because I felt guilty taking up tickets to an event when there may be other kids that are wanting to go and the waiting list wasn't short. I had to remind myself that Owen IS sick, and he deserves to go as much as the next kid. I forget how much he goes through on a daily basis because it is so normal for us. The echos, the shots, the blood draws, the constant therapies, doctors visits and daily puking is "our" normal. It's a lot for him to go through and so why not enjoy a special treat of a family night out! That's what Hope Kids is all about!
It was Disney's 100 Year Celebration and every Disney character you could imagine was on the ice. When we arrived, the great folks at the arena bumped us to handicapped accessible seating so that we didn't have to lug Owen and his oxygen tank all over the arena. They have no idea how awesome that was!

Owen stayed in his stroller the majority of the time as we were on the balcony of the second level and he could just peek over the edge and watch the show with no obstructions. He really loved it!! Kamryn was dying for some cotton candy and it came with this groovy Mickey crown. Owen stole it from his sis within seconds and didn't want her to wear it. Thankfully, Kamryn is the best big sister in the world and let Owen have her crown for the entire show.

My parents and Gigi just came back from Disneyland last week. Good thing they brought back light up toys for my kids so that I didn't have to spend a billion dollars on toys while we were there. Owen was more interested in the light up gadgets than he was certain parts of the show.

It was a great night!! Nothing beats a night out together as a family. I don't know if Carson would ever go to another ice show, but Kamryn and I love them. Except for the part where Kamryn gets embarassed cause I'm singing along to the show. Ha. Does anyone else do that??

I'm almost done with the blended diet post. I'll have it posted tomorrow.
