Tulsa State Fair and Disney on Ice



We got tickets to Disney on Ice for the first time this year to get the kids excited about going to Disney and since it was Toy Story themed. Elizabeth was pretty excited about the whole thing and clapped and waved at the characters. Ben enjoyed parts of it, but kept asking when we could go ride rides. He had other priorities.

We ate some dinner after the show and hit a few rides. Elizabeth stood on her tiptoes to get to go down a giant inflatable slide. She climbed up all by herself (she's the little thing in the blue shirt) and flew down the slide. She loved it! Ben was able to do a couple other things and we all did the ferris wheel together which is becoming an annual tradition.

5 year old checkup

Ben is a growing boy and now we have proof. At his 5 year old checkup he was 45.25” (89%) and 46lb 10oz (82%). He is closing in on 4 feet and will tower over Mom before we know it! Everything else checked out well and he is just one healthy, growing boy.
