Disney on Ice!

Ah, what an adventure!  My friend Brie and I loaded up the mini van with our 5 kids (all under 7) and ventured to the Verizon Center for Disney on Ice (after making a pit stop at Chic Fil A for lunch!)

We hadn't even been there 5 minutes before I spent over $25 on popcorn and cotton candy (one of each).  Thank God I got my tickets for only $15 a pop!

We entered the arena and Ben immediately started screaming - the genie from Aladdin was on stage (that's enough to make any neurotypical kid freak out!) so I dragged the boys back out to the concourse for some time out.  (While I was busy texting everyone how crazy my kids were AJ proceeded to eat the entire bag of cotton candy)

At intermission I finally was able to get the boys back inside - Brie took AJ for the rest of the show (he loved it) and ended up getting some "better" seats for Ben that were close to the door.  I can't say enough kind things about the security at Verizon Center.  Surprisingly they were very helpful and sympathetic to my situation and offered to help me get Ben in to see the show.  It wasn't without bribery of a new train that we got him back into the arena.

Ben managed to finish the rest of the show (asking me repeatedly when the genie was coming back out) but I was happy that I stuck it out to make him experience the fun.

It wasn't sooner than we strapped everyone in and started out the garage that AJ requested we stop so he could 'use the bathroom'.  This resulted in a line of 20 cars witnessing AJ peeing all over my hands.

Logan passed out before we hit Constitution Ave, AJ once we got on Route 7.  Despite AJ emptying his bladder just 30 minutes prior he managed to pee himself once he passed out.  Needless to say, I think this was an adventure well worth the effort!
