Ellie's Daddy-Daughter Date

The Willmar Middle School put on a production of The Little Mermaid Junior this year and I knew as soon as I heard about it that Eliana would LOVE it.  But since I had already planned to take the girls to Disney on Ice for their birthdays (see future post), Nick decided he wanted to take Ellie to the show, just the two of them.

Unfortunately, Ellie had been pretty sick again (some random bug) and didn't have much appetite to join Nick for dinner out on the town before the show.  But what sick kid is going to pass up ice cream?  :)  Instead, Nick took her for frozen yogurt at CherryBerry where she picked out her own toppings (sprinkles and Mike&Ikes), and then they proceeded to the show.

Ellie fell in love with the musical (which makes her mother VERY pleased!)!  Nick said she was glued to the entire play and couldn't stop talking about Ariel, Ariel's Dad (King Triton), and Ursula.  Props to the WMS for instilling a love of theater in my daughter and also for a job well done!  And props to my husband for giving our eldest daughter a great daddy-daughter date!
