A few months ago I got an email from Disney letting me know that Disney on Ice was coming to Little Rock in May, and I could buy tickets before they went on sale to the public. Me and Disney are tight like that. Of course I jumped on that opportunity seeing as how Livy LOVED the show last year.
We had also been telling her since Charlotte was born that one day when the weather was nice we'd take her to the zoo. The entire month of April was slam packed with things to do filling up every weekend on our calendar. The first chance we had to go to the zoo was the same weekend as Disney on Ice, and since we'd already be in Little Rock, we decided to make a weekend of it.
Leading up to last weekend, Drew had been working extremely long days so it was the perfect time for him to take a day off. It also just so happened to be Mother's Day weekend... and what better gift for me than to spend some time with my family on a little getaway?!
We left early Friday morning and headed to Little Rock. We had lunch at All Aboard and then hit the zoo. The weather was perfect! It was cloudy and had been threatening rain all morning, but never did. It wasn't hot and it wasn't cold... it was just a perfect day for the zoo!
The zoo proved to be too much for this one to handle.
Livy loved these silly things. We had to take pictures at every single one.
After the zoo, we made our way over to the hotel right at check-in time. We had just enough time to splash around in the pool before we needed to get ready for Disney on Ice. We stayed at Comfort Suites and it was super nice. I could tell it was brand new. So clean! The indoor pool even had a "splash park" which was the whole reason we chose the hotel, but it was a little too cold for Livy to play in. She did love swimming with her daddy in the pool though.
Crazy8 had a "buy 1 get 1 for 88¢" sale. Seeing them match in their swimsuits was totally worth that 88¢!
The water was a little too cold for Miss Charlotte, so we hung out on the side of the pool and watched Daddy and Livy Lou swim.
Then we got dressed, went to Samurai for some sushi, and went to Disney on Ice, or Disney World as Livy called it. She sat between us with her hand over her mouth in amazement for about 90% of the show. I think Drew and I watched her more than the actual show so we could see her reaction to everything. It was priceless. She was definitely in her element as she watched all of the princesses sing and skate around.
We ended the evening with ice cream from Cold Stone and then enjoyed breakfast at Cracker Barrel before going home the next morning. We had such a fun time. I can't wait for our next getaway!
