1st Annual Jack & Kerri Play Day

This last weekend was the 1st Annual Jack & Kerri play day.  I've been looking forward to doing these days with my nephews and niece for a long time now.  I just had to wait until they were old enough to understand what was going on.  I think 3-years-old might be the magical number.  We had such a grand time!  I heard back in January that Toy Story 3 on Ice was coming to Salt Lake, and I thought Jack would really love it.  So I bought the tickets and started planning our day.  About 3 weeks before the big day, I made a countdown chain that he could tear a loop off every day until Mar. 10 arrived.  It was so fun!  Anytime I would see him, he would tell me how many rings were left.
Mar. 10 finally arrived!  I picked him up around 12:45pm, and we were on our way.

I love this face!!

I thought it would be kind fun to take TRAX downtown instead of driving so that Jack could ride the train.  It turned out to be a big hit, and I didn't have to worry about where to park.  Here we are at the train stop.

Around this point of the day, Jack decided it would be fun to cover his face in every picture, so sorry about that everyone.  Little stinker!

At Energy Solutions Arena

I had to get really creative to get pictures of his face.

We loaded up on all sorts of snacks...popcorn, sparkly (soda), Sour Patch Kids, and cotton candy.

I think the highlight might have been when these friends came out to welcome us to the show.  Jack's face was priceless.

Here are some of our Toy Story Friends.  Jack said that Rex was his favorite, and he loved the furnace at the end.

He ate the popcorn two hands at a time.

I bribed him with the cotton candy to get this picture with Woody. 

Cotton candy face and hands.  Good things Amy supplied with me with some wipes.  We would have been a mess without those.

The cotton candy came with this stellar alien hat.  Here we are on the train ride home.  Jack was pretty pooped at this point.  He missed his nap to play with me.

When I dropped Jack off, Amy and Dan wanted to take us all to dinner, so off to Sonny Bryan's we went.  So I got to spend some time with this little lady too.  I love her little chipmunk teeth!  See video below...her little personality is starting to really shine.  I love her!

So that was the 1st annual Jack & Kerri play day!  I had such a great time!  Jack is the smartest, cutest, and funniest 3-year-old I know, and I love him more than anything!  I think he had a pretty good time.  You can't put a price on spending time with these kiddos before they become too cool to hang out with us old people.  I'll put my thinking cap on for what we can do next year!
