Aw, you gots some goregous kiddos, DSD.
So how'd the Orlando trip go? How surprised and excited were they and when did you tell them??
Thanks!
Orlando trip went very well, barring a 104.9 temp on the lil guy which turned out to be a double ear infection
. We were able to get him to Urgent Care and within a day he was back to his normal self!
The boys had
NO CLUE at all! I can't believe we pulled it off without a hitch
. We just told the boys to bring some stuff to play with in the car as we had a lot of errands to run and we didnt hear a peep from them until our first rest stop 2 hours later. I gave them a card to read which said we were going on the adventure of their lives and to sit back, relax, and enjoy it. And they did.
Each day was a complete surprise to them. They never knew where we were going until we got there, and then the mouths dropped and cheering began. We hit the Kennedy Space Center, Disney Studios, Gatorland, Islands of Adventure, Magic Kingdom, & Sea World.
We've already been asked to skip toys next year and do a surprise adventure again by Xavier and Ashe. I'm going to start looking into one of those kid cruises and see if its something we can swing. All in all it was the best gift ever, to myself too. I really enjoyed keeping it top secret and watching their faces light up in excitement each day. It was so cool!
