Disney on Ice!!!

I took my favorite 4 year old for a couple of hours to see a skating show with the gang from Disney. Here are some of the highlights!
The show was based on a typical day in Disneyland, starting of course with a walk on main street....
Mickey & friends hang out with Alice at the tea cups
Cinderella & The Prince were in the main street parade
The evil queen from Sleeping Beauty ruined the main street parade with her spinning wheel, Minnie pricked her finger and Disneyland went to sleep. Luckily Mickey, Daisy, Goofy & Pluto were not close by and able to save everyone! Here they are getting trapped by Maleficent the evil queen and her minions!
Lucky for Minnie she got a kiss from Mickey to awaken Disneyland again!
Ended the day with the Spectromagic Parade! :)

Was really neat to see all the characters on skates :) Hope to get on the ice myself and take Ida out with her new skates in the next week or two.

Autumn in New Zealand

Trying to spend as much time outdoors before all the rain sets in for the winter. Been out on a few walks the past couple of weeks, and trying to make the most of the sunshine. Headed out for a walk on the beach today. Here are some photos from a recent hike through Tongariro National Park.
