"Disney On Ice!"

Yes, the event we had planned since last October has finally come around! Keri scored the suite at the AAC to see various Disney characters skate around. Man, I never felt more manly in my whole life watching that. But first, Emmy had a soccer game!:


Me: "Hey Emily, how are you making that ball float?"
Emmy: "Levitation dad! You should try it sometime!"
Me: "Um...isn't that impossible?"
Emmy: "Oh yeah, it sure is! I'd better stop! I'm breaking the law!"
Me: "What law is that?"
Emmy: "The law of gravity! HA HA HA!"
Me: "Good golly...that joke is older than I am!"


What's funny about this picture is that everyone in it posed for me!

Then Sunday, Zach Emmy and me made the drive out to Dallas and met Mom, Dad, Katherine and Caroline and saw the show! Cari had to coach a soccer game and couldn't make it. Well, instead of seeing some of the more many Disney characters like Lightning McQueen or Buzz Lightyear, we got to see...

"The Princess And The Frog"


Two people dressed up as frogs? Now that's entertainment.

"Cinderella"


Giant mice helping a chambermaid get hooked up? Now that's entertainment.

"Tangled"


This shot I like. The ice picked up the surroundling light really well.


Zach looks a little too happy wearing that crown. I must have a talk with him about this.

Afterwards we had a great meal at Spaghetti Warehouse! Keri spilled her wine and we spent the rest of the time joking about how the table was all wet and sticky even though it had been cleaned up. Ahh, us Overalls love to tease until somebody cries.

On the way home I finally found some bluebonnets and had a camera! I made Zach and Emmy get out and sit amongst the flowers so I could get some cool pictures.:


This one might be my favourite. Sure the kids got bug bites and chiggers, but hey...good picture.


I thought this was a cool picture. Zach might just be a chip off ye olde block and enjoy taking pictures of everything that inspires him.

The night before we had bought something at Best Buy but it fizzled for some reason. So when we got back into town we met Cari @ Best Buy and got a new one. A new what?


A new TV babee! We are now part of the majority that can watch HDTV so now the scores on televised sports don't disappear into the corner of our old TV. Of course, now we have an entertainment center in our living room. I'll try to get that into the garage at some point. Dad said if I give him the money for the wood he'd build me a tower for the stereo and cable box and VCR. 24" wide by 72" tall with a cherry finish? Score!

Was a really nice weekend. We're trying to plan a 'suprise party' for Grandma for her birthday. Number 84! Goodness. Time just rolls along and ages us. Nothing we can do about it. Accept it I guess. Maybe I don't want to.
