We have spent a little time at the Q recently. Some of which I forgot to even mention. So, here are the two events we went to. In December, a co-worker at Smithville gave me a code to get some free promotional tickets to go watch the Lake Erie Monsters hockey team play. We were able to get tickets so that the Yohs could do this as a family – Maynard and Gloria, Jason and Niki, Jennifer and Arturo, Jeremy, Me, and Madison. The only one left out of the mix was Ellie. The game didn’t start til 7pm and we thought she would have just as much – if not more! – fun at Grandma and Grandpa DeeDee’s house for a special sleepover. (She did have more fun!) We headed up there and met at the Winking Lizard for supper. Madison really enjoyed the iguana they had in a small closet with large glass windows. We had a nice time eating together before walking over for the game. We had really good sits fairly close to one of the goals. I don’t really understand all the rules of hockey, and I despise the fact the players fight and get away with it. But it is fun to go to a live sporting event and people watch, hang out, and be somewhere different. Madison had a lot of fun as well.
She started the night off by getting her face painted.
Then, she just hung out with everyone, colored, watched the big screen, and was very proud of being old enough to hang out with the big people.
The second event at the Q was a birthday surprise for BOTH girls. On Ellie’s birthday, we let them know we would be going to see Disney on Ice! We showed them some little clips of what it looked like on youtube or some other online site. They were really excited! We bought the cheap seats, which, honestly, are just fine if you ever go. The girls ate jelly beans and popcorn to tide them over til lunch.
They loved it. Ellie was really excited about Minnie Mouse, who is the first one she’ll tell you about if you ask.
Madison, predictably, liked the princesses. They were all there (except Sleeping Beauty for some reason… maybe she was sick?). They danced with their princes, sang, and twirled.
It was spectacular! On the way home we ate at Red Robin; I just couldn’t take Wendy’s…again. It did take longer to get through the meal, but they were wound up anyway. The car ride home was chatty until we finally said, “Stop talking, close your eyes, and go to sleep!” And they did for the 25 minutes that were left in the ride home. It was a good day.
