All strapped in.
After a long drive - sorry about the detour Aunty Annie:) - and a near roo incident (the closest Mummy has ever come to making her own roadkill) - Mummy pulled into the empty floor of the parking garage, and by the time Alex had changed into one of Chelsea's princess dresses it was almost full! We met Chelsea's godmother, her Aunty Ida, who was watching the show with us. 
We found our seats with ten minutes to spare - just enough time for a little snack to tide us over. 
Our seats were really close - just 10 rows back - and gave us a terrific view of the ice rink.
And on with the show (photos are disappointing - but Alex is excited to see them).
Mesmerised is the word that comes to mind. 
I even heard a little singing along every now and then. **update** Alex didn't really talk much about the show until almost six weeks later when we were back in China - she excitedly described to her Daddy how the princesses danced on the ice and all the lifts that the princes did, and how the princesses waved to the audience. She was very animated about it.**Alex was a little unsure as to why only a part of each princess' story was told - just a "wish come true" part - but was excited to see all of the princesses she knows and loves. All of them, in fact, except for Pocahontas. She was equally excited to see Minnie and Mickey come out - but needed to be told who Tinkerbell was.
Mummy's favourite part was the dragon which breathed fire in a zigzag onto the ice - very well done! Alex was still scared of Ursula the sea witch from Ariel - just as she was when we saw her in the Disney parade in LA.
All too soon it was over. Alex had $20 to buy a special souvenir and chose a flashing tiara...as you do. We drove back to Canberra, enjoying a McDonalds dinner and play break in Goulburn on the way. We had a great time and are very happy that Aunty Annie thought to ask us along. We would love to do it again!
