Stars on ice

We had the good fortune of receiving 4 tickets to Smucker's Stars on Ice. Allthe girls love to ice skate and really liked the skating in the Olympics, so we figured they'd like the show. Will volunteered to take them (the show started at 7 pm, our kid's normal bedtime, so this was very brave of him), which meant I would get several hours by myself! I really wanted to make Ryleigh a birthday cake (she is four today! Where does the time go? I swear she was so tiny when she was born, her head was the size of an orange! She was especially tiny next to Maya who was born mostly a giant, but I digress). I love to bake and what a treat is it to bake uninterrupted. Ryleigh wanted a vanilla cake with strawberry frosting. One of my favorite things to make from scratch is cake, so I was happy to do it. We ended up with a four layer pink cake with strawberry buttercream frosting, which she promptly swiped her finger through upon arrival to the house (after receiving full permission from Maya!). We will also be going out for burritos for lunch as per Ryleigh's request. Anyway, back to the Daddy daughter adventure; We really talked up the skaters, telling the kids they are the best in the world and that they can do all these amazing tricks, blah blah blah. I get a text from Will about 7:15 that reads;
"This iz what I am dealng with so far. The 4 year old: (loudly) look no flips you said flips. The skater performs a huge move. Maya: that is not a flip

Then a female skater bags it and I swear to Christ ally shouts daddy you said they were the best. The best. She just fell!"

Apparently they were not impressed at all. He ended up bringing them home at intermission (they thought it was the end). Lilly really liked it, and wants to go again, but the other two, not so much. They went to McDonald's after, which was much more exciting than the whole show, because they each got Toothless, the best dragon from the dragon movie in their Happy Meals. All in all the night was a bust, but Will said the people sitting behind them at the show were thoroughly entertained by the commentary Allie and Maya were giving, so there's that.
