Disney on Ice

April 9th, 2011: Disney on Ice!

The family was able to get together for an afternoon showing of Disney on Ice two Saturdays ago!  Everyone in this family LOVES Disney, so expectations were high.  The overall opinion of the show was that is was ok.  Those who had seen it last year said it was better then.  The plethora of characters was superb, they just need a more interesting story line to tie the whole show together.  The theme was “celebrations”, but it all seemed a bit thrown together haphazardly.  The kids liked the show, but kind of got a little bored in the middle.  And the skating was ok too…We’ve seen better at theme-parks like Bush Gardens and SeaWorld…though I can understand most of the characters not being able to do much in their big costumes.  We still had a lot of fun though and would go again.  My $10 cotton candy was delicious, lol.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
   

Roger’s Farm Haunted Maize

Posted in Events, My Life, Reviews by

October 22, 2010 – After work, the Alpha-1 gang (and a few significant others…well two anyways…) met up for dinner at The Fat Tuscan.  The Fat Tuscan restaurant is in a quaint, little house close to the Thomas Center.  The atmosphere was great!  We sat outside under strings of lights and listened to an acoustic performance while we ate.  We felt like the food was a little overpriced for what we got, but I think everything is homemade right there….which is pretty cool.  The pumpkin cheesecake was delicious.

After dinner we headed to Roger’s Farm to check out the spooky trail and haunted corn maize.  Eric and I had gone last year with some friend’s and thought it was something fun and different to do…so we returned!  The set up was pretty much the same as last year except there was this really cool jumping thing for the kids.  Tonight and Saturday night are the last days to go, so if you have the time I think it is an event worth checking out.  Here are some pictures from our “spooky” night out.
