We used Disney on Ice as a good excuse to spend the weekend together. We packed a lot in 2 short days. Naturally, decent sleep was the first to go. Just the thought of being together woke the kids bright and early. But with that being said, they all did remarkably well.
We ate Aggie ice cream and drove passed campus, pointing out old Main, the Spectrum, and the football stadium to the kids. Bentley is a super Aggie, so the wow factor wasn't quite as impressive for him.
Once we climbed the stairs to our seats for the show, the kids sat down taking in the enormity of the place. They had the "we're not in Kanas anymore" look in their eyes. The show was a lot of fun, Toy Story 3. We moved closer after intermission despite what the usher said. There was a lot of clapping and dancing in our seats.
Somehow we managed to drag the kids, a pregnant lady, and a few purchases from one side of Gateway to the other and back again. By time we got checked into the hotel, the hopes of swimming the night away were sleepily pushed aside until morning. We were at the pool bright and early.
And since we got an early start, we enjoyed the children's exhibit at the Church History Museum and a little shopping before parting ways.
