The Surprise!

I told Julia on Thursday that we had a big surprise for her on Friday. She asked me what but I said you would have to wait and see. So on Friday, we got dressed and we put on her Mickey Mouse shirt and said a little later on we would be going to the surprise with cousin Kate and Aunt Kristy. She was excited and kept asking me if "we go to surprise now?"



So the time arrived and we drove up to Salt Lake City. Kate would point out the Disney on Ice billboards as we drove and they were excited and didn't realize that that is what we would be going to do, Kristy and I just sat up front and laughed. We asked the kids what they thought we were going to do but didn't really guess. We parked and we asked again where they thought we were and Kate said the Zoo?! Nope. So I said this is where the Utah Jazz basketball team plays and we thought it would be fun to see a game but still really no response. So we wanted to see if they had signs inside that would give them a clue and as soon as Julia saw a sign she was yelling, "Mickey, Minnie, Donald, Goofy!" So we told them we are at Disney on Ice! They were both pretty excited. So we looked around before we found our seats and they just wanted to see all the souvenirs and buy all of them of course. We settled for pictures by the concession stands instead of paying $15 for a 'real' picture.

We splurged and got the kids a snow cone cup souvenir to take home. Julia loves it. She asks to eat ice cream out of it!

When the show started Julia was so excited. And out came all her favorites, Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Daisy. They skated around and she asked where Goofy was. And just then they opened the curtains and out he came. It was so fun to watch her. Her eyes were glued to the show the whole time. It was a fun surprise and I knew she would love it. It was fun to spend time with her and see her little excited face! I love moments like that!!
