Going Ape

Okay, so Daddy is excited about October again: we just bought some tickets for Disney on Ice, and got them on sale too! Madison had such a good time last year when we went, and I know this year will be even better because it seems to be a princess-themed event, which is practically perfect in every way. Madison has been into Rapunzel, Tiana and Cinderella lately, so this should be a really good night for her. When Daddy mentioned ice skating to Madison, she immediately wanted to watch a movie with ice skating in it. Hard to believe that with all this heat outside that we're talking about ice skating. Presently, I'm trying to imagine anyone ice skating with really long hair like Rapunzel: how does it not get all tangled up in your skates? Will there be extra persons out there skating who have the job of simply holding her hair? Stay tuned! We'll find out all the answers to these questions and more!

We slept in this morning, as we didn't have school. Or work. It was one of those days, where we could kick back and relax a bit. Still, it's been way too hot outside to do anything fun - the weather has been so extreme this year, as compared to previous years. Just eight months ago, we were enduring the winter storm of the decade here.

Today, Madison got to go ape a bit at Nana and Ye-Ye's house. We left her there so that Mommy and Daddy could go ape at the movie theaters, watching the latest "Planet of the Apes" movie, which was actually very good. It was so good, in fact, that we decided to watch the first one tonight after Madison was in bed.

We did get to talk with Nana and Ye-Ye for a bit after the movie - it was nice to stop and catch up for a bit. Madison was still going ape though: climbing all over Ye-Ye, and giggling nonstop!
