Boxing Day and Seussical

Today was a great Boxing Day!  It was relaxing not having to run out and try to find deal on stuff we really don’t need.  We spent a lazy morning at home with Karlee starting to feel very tired most of the morning.

After lunch we headed over to the “Secret Skating Place,” as Ryley calls Lake Bonavista.  He was very upset when he found that not just anyone could go skating there, but that you had to be a member.  We explained to him that Grandma is a member and she could bring guests to go skating.  We headed out on the lake right away and quickly remembered that skating on lake ice is not like skating on flooded ice.  Ryley very quickly tired himself out while Karlee was having a great time being pulled in the sleigh.  Mom and Ryley took the short cut while Dad and Karlee went all the way around.  Dad did a bunch of laps on the flooded area at the top which was much smoother and easier on the legs and hips.  We will have to take Ryley back at night when they have the Christmas lights on and the fire pit going.

Boxing Day night was a great evening as the KCCFA had gotten us tickets to Seussical the Musical.  We went down to the Martha Cohen Theatre in downtown Calgary and had a wonderful evening.  The show was very exciting and action filled.  The kids loved all the action and the singing and dancing.  We were right beside one of the catwalks so they were running beside us the entire night.  Ryley was riveted and loved watching everywhere.  Karlee enjoyed the performance, but once again was very tired.  She watched a good part of the show laying in Mom’s lap, but she always managed to clap at the correct times so she must have been paying attention.  Everyone had a great evening and it was nice to get out!
