Horse and Carriage

An unexpected carriage ride?  Sure, why not.  Tonight we had a Daddy-Daughter Dance for the younger kids at Free Chapel, and something well over 700 people showed up.  

There I am above, the one to the left.  In the snowman costume.  I was Olaf tonight, and that was quite the workout.  I can't believe how soaking wet I was after a few hours of dancing, waving, running... it was a big time workout, actually!  

So Maddie had her taekwondo practice tonight, but she got a ride to the church and she jumped right in, helping out.  She was moving tables and chairs and helping clean up, working very hard tonight!  She got to spend a good bit of time with the princesses there too - Camille was Elsa again, and she had a full Princess court there with Cinderella, Moana, Tiana, Aurora, Anna, Snow White, and Jasmine there too.  Maddie had a picture with Camille as Elsa, and wow... can you believe it's been ten years since that first picture together with Elsa.

At the end of it, just before we were going, the horse and carriage was still letting dads and daughters ride around until the last ones.  That was very kind of them.  So we just so happened to time it as we were leaving that there were a few in the carriage, but there was room on top for Maddie and Emma.  So with their tiaras on (everyone got a tiara today!), the two hopped up at the front of the carriage and rode around the church parking lot for a little bit.  It was a sweet way to end the day.

Well, the rest of the day was quiet by comparison, at least here.  Maddie enjoyed her day at school, and I got a lot done with KidPak, and Mom has been busy working towards Easter's production as well.  Tonight we'll get a good rest.  Tomorrow is a little quieter, but we still have a few things planned.

We read this evening, and then said our prayers.  Time to get some sleep.
