How Davis does Disney....




We knew Disneyland was not in the works this year so I decided last minute literally to take the kids to Disney Worlds of Fantasy on Ice in SLC. I was able to find some discount codes online so the whole family went for $49.00
There was a "Princess Pre Show" which ended up just being two princesses who took turns stepping out on this stage and waving, no personal photos. Do you know which princess this is?  Uh, I don't know her name and haven't seen the movie yet, but she has something to do with a frog....

 
My kids wove their way to the front and we were able to catch this picture before the mob pushed us out of the way...I know this princess is Cinderella, cause that's what Sissy Sue says ;o)

 
They had the rest of the Princesses dresses on display.
Don't you just love Sissy's Sue's princess pose (oh dear)

 
The first story on ice was Cars.  The boys got a kick out of this one...Gooooo Mater!


Nate and I got a kick out of how excited all the children were but especially Baby C who clapped and whooped and hollered with the best of us.  He kept making sure Nate was seeing everything by pointing and shouting "dad! dad!"

This is the Lion King section. The lighting was amazing and they had great costumes and excellent skating skills!


The final story was Tinkerbell, don't know the name of the movie, but the first adventure where she discovers why she is a tinker fairy...Baby C was really good but got overstimulated and was done when the last show started, but I was able to go stand in an open stall area and watch and let him wander around. 

The kids had a great time but the fun was tainted by the commercialism bombarded them at all angles. It's hard to not feel bad when your mom doesn't buy a 15 dollar snow cone...i know, I know, horrible mom. 
Can't believe this snow cone with flashing lights and music, just kidding, no music but yes on the flashing lights!  I'd rather have the kids experience this on a small scale that I didn't spend hundreds of dollars, so that I can teach them to not let it ruin their whole trip. 

Love hanging with Dad

Sissy Sue challenged Nate to a Tug-o-War to test out the new rope they made together. 
Nate borrowed his Uncle Neil's old rope maker for Weblows.
Her brothers were quick to jump in and lend a hand...
I'll let you guess how this contest ended;o)

Sissy Sue spent the day with her dad one Saturday in March where she helped plant pepper plants with her Grandpa Davis and Nate helped build planter boxes. They planted about 30,000 pepper plants. It's been fun watching those plants take off.  They're about 3 inches tall now (Apr. 18).

Snack J loves to ask Grandpa Davis for radishes which he grew in his greenhouse over the winter. But he doesn't like to eat them,,, too spicy!
Cousin Kaleb and his dad Monty showed up to hang out in the greenhouse with the gang.  Baby C and Kaleb are only a month apart in age...
Can you guess which one is older?
