We returned from our fun filled trip from September 17-24th. As the title indicated it was a surprise for the kids. I will post the video as soon as I figure out how to!!
If you did not follow our pre trip report (likely not since not many did!!) I will do a breif intro.
We decided to do a surprise trip for our two boys age 10 and 4.
The plot:
Mommy is to fly to Las Vegas to visit a close friend (who happened to be pregnant and due around the trip time, good timing there! Boys will go to the airport to say goodbye.
How:
Our flight leaves at 2:50 pm, direct flight. Older son is in school and younger one gets out of preschool at 11:30 am. The boys think my husband has to work and will see them afterschool to pick them up at grandma's house.
Grandma and Grandpa pick me and the youngest up, we then pick up the older boy from school. In the meantime my husband gets out of work and catches a ride to the airport (we live close by).
I get dropped at the door with plans for them to meet me inside after I check my bags. (We did a walk through ahead of time so we all know where to meet)
So it went perfectly! My husband and I wait at the top of the escalator and when the boys come up he is holding a "Surprise we are going to Disney" sign.
The older one reads is and is in shock, little guy gets told from Grandma. My older son is a chatty guy, he was speachless!! It was priceless and earned us the title of the "Best Mom and Dad" in the whole world!
Pictures and Video to come soon of the reveal!
