HIGH SCHOOL MUSICAL on Ice

I went to see this musical "play" with Ela and Julia on Friday evening at the Allstate Arena. It was a surprise for them, since they didn't know until they came home from school that I was taking them somewhere. They did not even know where we were going, right up until we got dropped off at the Arena!

We had a great time. They knew all the songs, of course. (I didn't even know a single one.) We got some souveniers, like a program and some drinking cups that light up from the bottom (bright annoying blinking lights that are on a switch).

It was good for us "girls" to go out together just to have some fun. It was something different than usual, and not something they had ever been to before (ice capades, or Disney on Ice). So from that point, it was new. Of course, the girls have seen the High School Musical movies (1 and 2) hundreds of times, so the HSM on Ice did not even compare. But of course they like the actors in the movies much better - because they are cuter! (That's what Ela said.) This was different and still a lot of fun.
