Disney On Ice

Last Wednesday we saw the Disney On Ice Celebration at the Hampton Coliseum. It celebrated several holidays, including Halloween, Christmas, and Valentines day, and included all the major Disney characters. Eliza was really mesmerized by it all. Pointing at the ice, jumping up and down, and even enjoyed people watching. All three of us had a blast. This will definitely be a repeat family event!

Children's Day at Jamestown

Saturday, the 12th, we attended Children's Day at the Jamestown Settlement. David was hired to play at the event. He worked part of the time as a strolling minstrel, and then a concert on the main stage. We all had a great time, and the children loved hearing David talk about and play 17th century music.

A Day at the Zoo

Saturday we took a trip to the Virginia Zoo in Norfolk. It was a small zoo, but still very enjoyable. It was Eliza's first visit and although she didn't get much out of seeing the larger animals, who were out in a larger open area, she really loved the monkey house and getting to feed the goats.

She was hysterical when the goats ate from her hand, and even tried taking a taste of the pellets herself. However I think her favorite animal was a tiny monkey in the monkey house. He sat right up against the glass looking at Eliza as she tried to pet him over and over!

We also discovered that she LOVES water! We let her splash around in the fountain in the front and her reaction made the holiday traffic we suffered worth it.
