Disney On Ice, Treasure Trove

Posted on November 11, 2011 by UtahKids2011

I’m so happy!  Last night I took my 2 boys, 3 years old and 4 years old, to Disney On Ice.

We lasted the whole show!   A full 2 hours on the edges of their seats.  They laughed when Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy came out on the ice.  There were skits from Aladin, Snow White, Peter Pan, Tangled…the Lion King was AWESOME with all the different animals they brought.  The colors totally shifted when we went “Under the Sea” with the Little Mermaid.

I’m personally still trying to figure out how Pumba (the pig in Lion King) skated on all 4 feet.  And the crocodille from Peter Pan was super cool.

I know you’re just going to LOVE the show–remember to mention Utah Kids Club when you call to book your tickets.  *Phone number listed on the Discount Directory*

Circus Report

Posted on October 1, 2011 by cali

Hey Cali,

Just thought I’d let you know how the circus went. Sadly, Energy Solutions Arena doesn’t allow cameras with removable lenses inside, which means I only had my phone to take pictures. Maybe there is a phone out there that takes riveting pictures in low light, unfortunately mine is not one of them. I ended up with exactly 5 super blurry pictures before I gave up, and just sat back to enjoyed the show.

Ringling Brothers was an amazing production! I wish I could have captured the expression on my five-year-old’s face when they started juggling with fire…it was combination terror/anger/awe. My three-year-old’s favorite part was the ginormous bucket of popcorn and the glow in the dark toys, and my 9 month old LOVED the music, LOVED my teeth, LOVED the lights, LOVED pulling my hair, LOVED the dancers, LOVED trying to climb on top of my head…you get the idea. The elephant tricks? Awesome! One of the clowns had biceps as big around as his torso. I swear they had to be fake, but they looked SO REAL.The tightrope walkers and trapeze artists are a perennial favorite of mine, and they did not disappoint! The excitement of just being there was palpable.

Honestly though, I think the PETA protestors kinda ruined the circus for my kids. I’m sympathetic to PETA, and think the protestors are really great people who are voluntarily dedicating their time to a cause they believe in. So, we stopped and chatted for a few seconds, and my kids got free coloring books and gave high fives to the PETA volunteer who was dressed up as an elephant. Then we got into the arena and while we were waiting for the circus to start they asked me to read the coloring book, which was titled Animals Belong in the Jungle. It briefly summarized why animals may not be happy in the circus, so for the rest of the show I was getting comments like “I think that elephant looks sad.” “Will they whip the horses?” “Why do they chain up the elephants?” “I don’t think the zebras are happy.” *Sigh* I guess I should have thought that one through better. The next day when we talked about the circus they asked “Next time can we go to a circus with no animals?” Well done PETA. Well done.

But I don’t consider an outing that doesn’t go as planned a failure. My purpose in seeking out new experiences for my kids, is to help them have fun, or help broaden their perspective. My kids had fun, and formed an ethical opinion. Purpose accomplished.

I love that with the kids club we get to experience new things for so much less money!
Thanks for everything!
Emilie

Getting psyched up for the CIRCUS

Posted on September 18, 2011 by cali

My friend Emilie is so GREAT, she got tickets to the Circus and wrote this for us, she has so much fun with her kids, I LOVE It!

Cali, we’re so excited, The Ringling Brothers Circus is here in NINE DAYS.  Thanks for the discount tickets! When I told my kids that we were going, they spent a solid ten minutes jumping up and down in circles singing a “we’re going to the circus” song that they made up on the spot. Soon after they’d finished their revelry it became obvious that they had absolutely no idea what the circus is. Their only exposure to the concept of a circus is the book Put Me in the Zoo, and if they are expecting a circus to be a place to meet whatever kind of doing-tricks-with-spots-animal from that book, they’re going to be disappointed.

So last night we had a circus education intervention. Because it’s important for my kids to have semi-accurate expectations, it’s important for them to appreciate the difficulty of what they see at the circus, and it’s fun to play circus. Here’s what we did aside from eating peanuts and popcorn:

Wendover Air Show TODAY

Posted on June 25, 2011 by cali

We are pleased to announce the 11th Annual Wendover Air Show on Saturday June 25th from 9:00 to 5:00 PM.

As Utah’s only air show, The Wendover Air Show is known for offering a truly interactive family experience with aviation.  Including the best in aerobatic flying, as well as, historic and modern aircraft

Get up close and personal with aircraft and their pilots.  Headlining performers include The Heavy Metal Jet Team, and the USAF “Viper West” F-16 Demo Team piloted by Capt. Garrett ‘Mace’ Dover, from our very own Hill AFB Utah.  Performances by Dave Erickson in his Super Chipmunk and Seamus McCaughley and his Bleagle taking their aircraft to the edge of the control envelope, thrilling the crowd as they literally defy the laws of flight.  Finally, the show is rounded out with R/C aircraft demos and dozens of static display aircraft including the Utah Air National Guard KC-135 Stratotanker (an in-flight refueling aircraft).

The featured act, the Heavy Metal Jet Team consists of four L39’s and one T-33 aircraft.  Their show is very similar to the USAF Thunderbirds or The Navy Blue Angels.  In fact, the pilots for Heavy Metal are notable former Thunderbird and Blue Angel pilots.  A tradition at the Wendover Air Show, “Viper West” shows off the advanced tactical capabilities of the F-16 with an aerial demonstration, not to be missed.
