Incredible Weekend

We saw the Incredibles: Disney on Ice show this weekend. It was great. I thought it would be more a Zach thing and Ryan would just be along for the ride. I was wrong. Ryan LOVED it! He was interested the whole time. He even used his bracelet to help save Mickey and Minnie. The show was much better than I expected it to be. I thought the show would be a sort of recap of the movie, but it had it's own plot and it was entertaining. The acting- not so good, but the show over all was really fun. Basically the Parrs(aka- the Incredibles) take a vacation to Disney World and try to blend in, but it doesn't work out quite that way. They were able to incorporate some of the Disney attractions including the parade(that was my favorite part). It was a good time for all. Jay thought it was a good plug for Disney World-maybe I'll be able to get him to go sooner now;-)
The show was great fun, but the best part of the day for me was getting the memory box for Sweet Pea. I went to the Discovery Store where Jay got Ryan's box for me. I looked everywhere and couldn't find another one. I was so disappointed. I asked a guy that worked there if he knew anything about them. He said they had been marked down. He pointed to a sign that said 50% off. He told me he would look around and see what he could find. He started looking around the store. This did not make me hopeful. Then he went to the back and come out with a box! The last one in the whole store. It was the new design. Apparently the Discovery Store(which is awesome, by the way) bought the company that makes the boxes, so the ones with the old packaging were being discounted to get rid of them. I was just happy to have the box, I didn't care if it wasn't the discounted old model. When he rang it up it did come up on sale though. I got it for $15!!! Have you ever felt like God lined everything up for you? The last box, being in the back where it would be bought until I asked about it because I wanted one so much and to top it all off on sale 50% off! I can't find a link for the box, but it's similar to this frame if you imagine no hinge and a box part behind it. It is by far my favorite keepsake keeper. I've never seen one anywhere else.
Yesterday was nice. We had a good sermon at church and got to talk to some friends while we were there. The rest of the day was just pretty relaxed. That was nice having come off a busy week. My uncle Tommy came by to bring a boat he made over and he set it up for the kids to play on. He also brought his girlfriend, Alice. This was the first time I met her. She seems nice. They are pretty cute together. All lovey dovey :-) They remind me of Jay and me(except without the fighting ;-) ).

Hooray for wonderful shows the whole family enjoys! And double hooray for Memory Boxes waiting in the back of the store for just the right buyer.

Tommy brought the SS Minnow to you guys? What fun! He and Alice really are cute together, aren't they?

Happy Halloween, y'all!

I put that in...It is really a sign for Tommy's company, but I didn't know if I should post that.

'From Uncle Tommy' is a sign for his company?

Periwinkle Jen said...

I marked out the company's name and typed that over it.

We are so jealous that you guys got to see the Incredibles show. It's not supposed to come to our area anytime soon. Instead, we are going to see Finding Nemo on Ice in 2 weeks! I've never been to an 'on Ice' show, so I am glad to hear it was better than you expected.

Also--Sweet Pea's costume is brilliant!
