"Frozen" on Ice

For the first time in forever, we returned to see "Disney on Ice" once more, this time at the Gwinnett Arena for their "Frozen" production.  You can just imagine the sea of Elsas in the audience, all there to see their Queen Elsa skate around and sing the songs all of us know by heart.

All of the girls in the audience were singing "Let it Go," as well as all the other songs, and pretty much quoting all the dialogue along with the characters skating around.

The set pieces were nice, and whoever it was that was skating as Sven was pretty amazing.  I mean, look at the size of that reindeer, and yet it was able to skate around just as all the other characters were.

The skaters were talented too, impressing the crowd with leaps, with twirls, and in some cases, with flips as well.  Mommy and Daddy's favorite moment came with the character Marshmallow, who was a couple stories tall:

He had dry ice coming out of his mouth, and was absolutely huge!  "Don't come back!" he yelled, and it was perfect.  Our seats were pretty good, but I could imagine those on the very front row were pretty impressed with the size of this thing.  The seats we had were row E, pretty centered, so they were actually pretty fantastic for viewing the performance.  Madison sat on the aisle, and had an unobstructed view, mainly because the girl in the seat in front of her was so young as well.

Anyway, it was a nice night out.  We were at the Gwinnett Arena, which is so much better than driving down to Phillips in Atlanta, paying for parking and driving so much further.  Essentially, it's the same performance - just a lot closer and more convenient!

Madison was still on medication tonight, and by the end of the performance, you could see that it was wearing off.  Her face was flush, and that temperature once again started rising.  Surprisingly, her fever keeps coming back, this after the doctor's visit now two days ago.  We quickly got her something for her fever, and something for her cough, but it's clear we may have to return to the doctor's soon if this doesn't straighten out.  Currently, she's sleeping upstairs, the coughing starting up from time to time.  She had a great night, but we just feel bad for her right now.

Obviously, she had the day off of school.  She was actually crying this morning when she learned she wasn't going in to school.  She had a 102 fever when she woke up, and was still coughing.  She got dressed for school, but we had to break it to her that she just wasn't well enough yet. She was so frustrated, so sick, and so tired too - last night she was up coughing from time to time.  We gave her something to help with the coughing, but there's only so much you can do.  We had her sleep on her side as much as she could, but when you're sleeping, it's inevitable that you'll turn to your back from time to time, and that's when the coughing starts up once more.

Again, she had a great time tonight.  And we were blessed to have a window of good health, and some serious favor with the rain that didn't come until we got into our car.  But we've already cancelled some plans for tomorrow.  Our little girl needs some rest.
