Day of skating....

Imagine Tempe's first grade classes went to Disney on Ice at the US Airways Center in downtown Phoenix. It took *all* day to see a 90 minute show!! First we had to load all of the first graders and chaperones on the bus, a seemingly simple accomplishment...but not really. Each chaperone had four kids. I had the "pink group" which included Jazzy and three of her friends:) Then, luckily we were dropped off at the front door since usually you have to park far away and walk. Tickets, long line, purses and bags searched, find our seats... and just in time for the show to start. They had three story performances- Princess and the Frog, Cinderella, and Rapunzel. Minnie, Mickey, Pluto, and Goofy were go-betweens. The skaters were much more talented than I expected. Then, off to Kiwanis park for lunch. It was the coldest day since 1986, plus it was windy!! 52 degrees for the high, and it is supposed to only be 48 tomorrow- a record cold day in Phoenix. Some stupid parents didn't send their kids with a coat... to a ice rink!! on a cold day!!. Luckily, the school has extra coats. Then, we stopped at Cold Stone Creamery for ice cream. Next off to skating lessons at our own rink. Fun long day. Waiting for the show to start.

This is not really a great photo, but the skating horse was amazing!!

Lunch at freezing and windy Kiwanis park. Next to Jazzy is Linda, a talkative and cute little girl also from Vietnam.
