I'm here. Sorry I'm over 24 hours late! Can't wait to get home so I can watch your movies and see your pictures. What absolutely adorable clues! Nice work. I bet the kids were over the moon with happiness!
How exciting! I wish I could have kept it a secret, but no way! I am too excited for that Neither DH or DS have ever been, so I have to keep talking it up for them. Of course its been 20 years for me too, and I've never stay onsite, so I consider this my first trip too. Maybe next trip I will try a cute little scavenger hunt like yours. How fun
What a fun and great surprise. Jack would've reacted the same way. They are both so cute. Can't wait to read more
I love it! I showed my 5 year old the video and he said you better not do that to me! I think that is all the more reason to do it.
I love their reactions! Thank you for sharing!
Amy, I love all the clues and the work you put into them, and the boys reaction. Awesome.
The boys' reaction made me laugh, because it reminds me so much of my two girls. It takes them a minute to process the change of plans and to let their enthusiasm build. It might look to an outsider like they aren't as excited, but that isn't the case at all. It is that they had one thing in mind and the change (even a great one) gives them pause for a second
Oh my goodness "we aren't going to North Carolina?" , that sounds so much like Christian when we surprised them, he said "Does this mean we aren't going to the mountains?".
I love how great your kids are about saying thank you for the trip . Such a treat to get to see it all unfold!! I can't wait to read more about your trip.
I surprised my 5 year old son on October 30th and his reaction was about the same! I was hoping for the screaming and tears but no... it took him awhile but once he got it, wow! lol... I think it's just such a shock to them. I love your clues though... can't wait till my kids are older and I can do that
How fun! I love suprises for the kiddos! We are planning on suprising our kids for a trip in Oct for MNSSHP. We are going next Dec too, so they would never expect to go twice in one year.
Cant wait to hear more about your trip and Happy Anniversary! Congratulations!
That's awesome! Looking forward to the TR. We're in a similar situation; we leave in about 2 weeks to celebrate our 15th anniversary and the kids have no idea!
Here! The videos are great!!! Can't wait for all the fun on the trip! Hope you are feeling better.
OMG!!!!!!! those pictures and video are too cute!!!! Poor kids - you had them so confused. "But I told my friends I was going to North Carolina. I don't want them to think I lied". Awwwww - how sweet!
Great surprise Amy!
Subscribing!!
I'm a little worried about your day today, if my dream is any indication of how it might turn out.
You see, I came to your house for some reason, and things were in a bit of an upheaval for you. First of all, the toilet was to the very top, about to overflow. Don't worry - the water was all blue. The boys were babies, but you had Zach in one of Alex's diapers, and it was covering his whole body. Alex was running from room to room jumping all over the furniture. I was trying to find a diaper that fit the newborn. Your husband was at home, because I could hear his voice, but I never saw him. You were in a hurry to catch a movie, so you were running around like crazy trying to get ready. I think many that was why I was there - to babysit.
Anyway, I have no idea what made me dream all that, but just in case you have a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day, it's not my fault. I was never there.
