A Dream Come True!

The day finally arrived that Miss Meg had been waiting for....Girls Night Out, as she started calling it. Our trip to Disney on Ice with Mamaw, Aunt Lisa, Claire and Kate was last night. We'd been counting down the days for quite some time now. She was so excited all day! Beth said that she told her she couldn't eat much for lunch because we were going out for a special dinner and for snack she only took a small package of fruit snacks. She usually has a pretty "hefty snack" (Marcia and Libby, she sooooo has our genes! HA!) then has another snack when we get home, but yesterday she only ate the fruit snacks.

We go to the Spaghetti Factory with what we thought would be plenty of time, but we did have to wait a while. There were about 10,000 high school aged choir kids there. Maybe not that many, but Lisa and I were amazed at their outfits. We commented several times that our daughters WILL NOT leave the house looking like that someday. I'm sure Mother will love watching us eat our words someday. Ahhhh....anyways! Once we finally got seated, we had an amazing waiter who got us in and out so we didn't miss a second of the show. Meg told us that it was "the best meal I've EVER eaten!" She, Claire and Kate shared lasagna and ate a lot of Lisa's fettucini too, and of course, her favorite bread and butter!

She was totally amazed by the show. She sat in awe and would yet out as the sets were changing what was coming up next if she knew it. There was also many times that she was singing along, but her favorite part, of course, had something to do with the princesses. She thought Ariel was just beautiful! At the intermission, (or what should be called "empty your wallet for sugar time") we dropped a whopping $30 for three bags of cotton candy. Don't get me wrong, I realize sugar is pricey these days, but good heavens! I could practically invest in an entire sugar cane field for that amount. I forgot though, it wasn't just spun sugar, it also included a cheesy plastic crown with Mickey Mouse ears....now that made it worth at least another $5! HA! Oh well.....the girls were happy and having fun, right? Oh....and they were spending the night at Mamaw and Papaw's so who cares if they were all jacked up on sugar???

Why yes, they are always this sweet and loving to one another! HA HA!

Mickey and Minnie arrive

Those smiles are worth $30 bucks, aren't they? :)
