The army men

This alien hat came on each bag of cotton candy,

Rhyne told the man he needed 3 bags, but quickly

changed his mind when the man told him the total

would be $36! For cotton candy - they know how to

make money at these shows! The kids had to settle

for one to share!!

Before the show. From the moment we arrived in

New Orleans, Ben kept saying he wanted a sword.

The kids knew they could each have one thing at the

ice show - I cannot believe they had a sword at the

show! It made Ben's trip! Nothing in Toy Story has

a sword - I guess they knew Ben waned it!!

We just got back from New Orleans. It was a very busy and fun weekend. We went with my parents, Marcie, Craig, Justin and Eleanor. The main reason we went was for Disney's Toy Story 3 on Ice show. This show was so awesome and fun. My parents, Rhyne, me, and the kids attended the show - the "cool" kids (aka- the aunts and uncles) walked around town and then joined us for dinner. We also toured the DDay Museum and the Aquarium. You don't realize how hectic trips can be with three kids 5 and under until you go on one! It really made me miss the days when they all liked to ride in strollers! They were worn out by bedtime each night. A BIG "thank you" to Dee Dee and Pap - they kept the kids each night so me and Rhyne could hang out with the grown-ups! I love trips - so many memories are made each time!!
