On Friday night we headed out to Abbotsford to see 'Disney on Ice - Toy Story 3' or as Carter calls it 'Toy Story Ice." Previously it's only been held in Vancouver but this year they held it in Abbotsford as well as they have a nice new Arena for the Abbotsford Heat AHL team. We've gone almost every since Callie was 15 months and this year we chose Friday night as you get 2 for 1. Before the show we met up with Veronica and Brad and their kids Sarah and Lauren at the Spaghetti Factory. We met them in prenatal class for Callie and have keep in touch every since.
The theme has ranged from a mix of Princess shows to High School Musical but this year was totally dedicated to just the one movie. I'm not sure that you'd be able to know what was going on if you hadn't seen the movie before but it was still excellent. I'm amazed at the sets they manage to come up with. My favourite scene was probably the opening one with all of the army guys parachuting in. Two of the guys actually glided in from above on a lifting rig and they used special effects to make it look like they were all arriving the same way. (Actually they were probably mostly army girls.)
Buzz light year had a similar entrance that included a flashy rocket trail. Carter and Callie had a great time and Disney emptied our wallets nicely for Cotten Candy and drinks. Apparently if you add a 25 cent plastic cup or hat to something you can charge $12.00. They were nice enough to include handy wipes with the Cotten Candy which was very much needed since Carter tends to just let the stuff dissolve in his hands. It was a 30 minute drive home afterwards and we stopped off at Toys-R-Us for their midnight sale to pick up some gifts for Kerry's Sunshine fund at her school. They had portable high-chairs on sale and several teachers are having babies. We didn't get home till 10:30 but still had a lot of fun.
