Nashville....Here we come!

Friday afternoon we left to go to Nashville for the weekend. High School Musical the ice tour was there this weekend and we had bought tickets about a month ago to surprise Madison. Our friends, the Bosworths, had done the same thing for their kids, so we had planned on meeting up at the show on Saturday. My best friend, Tricia and her family, live in Brentwood, so we told Madison we were going to visit them for the weekend, which we did. We went up Friday and went out for some dinner on Friday night in Franklin. The weather was so perfect. We went to Mellow Mushroom Pizza and sat outside, it was great, then to Baskin Robbins for some yummy ice cream. Saturday morning, Jon, Tricia's husband, made a Starbucks run for us for breakfast and then we got ready to go to HSM. Madison thought we were going shopping. We got downtown and parked, then walked to the Sommet Center, where the Nashville Predators play. As we were walking in, Madison saw the guy selling programs outside the door and asked, "What are we doing? Meeting the cast of High School Musical?" We were like, "Um NO, it's HSM on ice." She was so excited. Hope and I then called each other and found each other so the girls could see each other there. They were so surprised! It was a really great secret we had kept, they were thrilled. I tried to get Vince and Pat to pose for a picture to show how "stoked" they were to be there, but I got the big "I don't think so" for that one. The ice show was so great. That is Sharpay and Ryan above doing their audition for the show. "Get Your Head In The Game!" There were two acts, HSM1 and HSM 2, which we didn't know they were going to do, so that was a bonus! This pic below is just for you Lee, this Troy saw himself and didn't recognize his face either! The skaters were great and really got into the characters! We all had a really awesome time. Of course Disney made a small fortune off the Blaszczynski "suckers" with the souveniers. I think we all had the most fun with the fabulous hat that came with Madison's cotton candy. Is that Lucas Grabeel I see at the performance?

Or is that?
No, maybe that is?
Oh, that's him for sure!!!!!!!

After the show, we went back to Tricia and Jon's. Vince and Madison went miniature golfing and go-carting while Tricia and I had girls afternoon out and shopped!!!! Tricia and I have been best friends since 5th grade and it's so great when we get to spend some time together. We miss getting to see each other often.Tricia and Jon's daughter, Ella, is almost 2 and is so precious. We had so much fun getting to play with her and Madison got even more excited about getting closer to bringing her sister home. Saturday night we really had an awesome time watching the Alabama/Arkansas game too! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
