Last April I meant to post this for Pink Saturday. We took our granddaughter to see Disney on Ice… and then I lost the pics on my computer! Now they're found and isn't this perfect for a gal who loves pink?
She had to have a pink snowcone. (Hello??? What happened to a .99 snowcone or maybe a 3.00 snowcone? Nope – they jumped right to twelve bucks! Of course you get this little mug to take home and along with
this little buttercup hat! A ripoff? Probably but a cute Pink ripoff! I guess sometimes Pink is just worth it.
You know what amazed me? Families with 4 and 5 kids – who got popcorn $5, snowcones $12, and cotton candy $7! For each kid. Tickets on cheap night $15, Parking $10. , add in some toys and a few bottles of water or a drink and it's like close to $400 for the evening. How do young families do that? Oh well – they say money spent on experiences brings more happiness than on material things. Do you guys with young families spend that much? Just curious and maybe a bit tight! xoxo Nancy

Happy Pink Saturday Nancy Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful share. I have got to tell you, I too would have paid the $12.00 for the little mug and that hat is so precious. Pink fairies equipment for sure. How beautiful.
I have always wanted to go to see the stars on ice, but have never been. It looks so magical. (And PINK ofcourse.)
Thank you for sharing sweetie. I love this post. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
Of COURSE I would have shelled out 12.00 for the snowcone and hat.....that's just TOO adorable. I don't know how young folks with several kiddos afford it! I know it's pricey for grandparents to do that, too! We took our gr. girl to a butterfly festival last weekend...it cost us 18.00 to get in and 24.00 for the worst lunch ever served up! HOWEVER, we sure had a swell time....and we got many great photos. Sadly, we found out the gr. girl is afraid of the big Blue Morphos!! :)
ReplyDeleteYou certainly got some wonderful pictures,too, grandma Nancy!! That little gal is too precious!! :)
Hope you have a great Pink Saturday.....guess what....it's POURING down rain right this minute. HoooRay!! We need it and we need the cooler temps that will come with it!!

Happy Pink saturday! I do not have kids but have three nieces and a nephew, and we have gone to the movies and it is like phew! things are really expensive. I don't know how households with more kids do it.
ReplyDeleteYour grand daughter is darling!!

Oh this post is just darling and so is your g-daughter! I don't remember spending that much on my only! But she probably got to do more than most just because of that.I hope you will be able to stop by my blog as I am having a giveaway and would love to have you enter!

Nancy, the snow cone and hat were a bargain at $12.00 but it will just have to be her birthday present for the next two years...the pictures are just too cute...glad you "found" them.
ReplyDeleteAs to prices these days...I agree 100% When I was a young bride in the olden days of yore, $12 was my weekly food budget! and we had red meat every night!
Have a pink week and stay out of the heat!
What a cute and sweet girl!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday!
Hi Nancy!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found your photos! What a shame it would be to not have the images of such a special day!
Your grandaughter is ADORABLE!! The pricing situation reminds me of the credit card commercial that lists prices and would end with . . . Crea's Smile ~ PRICELESS :-)
Happy Pink Saturday!!

What a wonderful show and all the goodies she got-things have gotten expensive-but I agree-the memories. Thanks for sharing-Happy PS!
ReplyDeleteHappy Pink Saturday! When our girls were little we took them to quite a few ice shows and it was always a wonderful time! But yes... the cost is outrageous. We put a limit on what we bought once we got there. Twelve dollars for a snow cone?! holy cow, did they go to the arctic for the ice? Last weekend hubby and I went to the movie, tickets for 2, 2 med. drinks and a med. popcorn came to $40 and that was a matinee! I don't know how young families do it.
ReplyDeleteVery cute pinkness. Wow, I hadn't realized the prices these days for ice and food coloring had gone up so much.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a wonderful show and your granddaughter is so cute with her little flower hat and snowcone! It does sound really expensive-but the memory you made with her will last forever! Happy PS!
