High School Musical on Ice - the Aftermath

I have to say that I was really impressed by the West Coast Cast of High School Musical the Ice Tour. What a great group of people. They skated with our kids (and moi) for about an hour. We took loads of photos. I took pictures with two of my daughter's friends' moms' cameras. And zero pictures with the camera I brought. It was hard enough juggling two cameras without adding a third. My daughter's best friend had to work their camera for me. I'm sure I looked real intelligent needing a 9 year old to operate a camera for me. And constantly having to say - "hey honey, can you fix this for me?" Not quite as bad as when I mowed down a 3 year old girl about yea big. I saw her dart out in front of me. And well I have crappy reaction time. When I see something about to happen I tend to think 'oh that's gonna hurt' and before I get to 'that' - its already hurting. To add insult to injury I apologized by saying "sorry, baby." If you want to really piss off a 3 year old try calling them a baby.

Did I tell you how great the cast was? Everyone was so friendly and they posed for lots of pictures. They showed off their skills for the kids. Even better they let our kids show off for them (and cheered for them too). After skating with the kids. They sat at a table and a line formed for autographs... some of the kids went thru twice. A lot of kids were getting their skates signed and some of them who were near the front wanted to go back thru again to get theirs signed as well..:) They have some really cool looking signatures. We grabbed some pizza at our rink before heading to the show.
The show was great. They combined two almost 2 hour long episodes into two 45 minute acts. Kelsy played the Playmaker/Narrator. She did a great job. I only saw one fall the entire show. The guy who played Chad dropped the ball twice during "Getcha Head in the Game" - but hey nobody is perfect. There was tons going on on the ice. I think it was a show I could've watched several times and got something different out of it each time.
