Hello I'm here!!
Had a meet the teachers night at the school this evening and we needed to talk to them about the kids missing school for two weeks.
They were all very supportive and said they would be willing to work with the kids to help keep them caught up before and after we get home.
We told the kids the other night that we were thinking about going somewhere to spend Thanksgiving.
I asked them where they would like to go? The following were mentioned....Las Vegas

, Seaside Oregon, Hawaii, St. George Utah.....at this point I tried to open their minds to other possibilities....I said "well what about Daytona Beach?" There eyes got very big...."where is Daytona Beach" they said? I showed them a the globe....eyes got even bigger!!
Yes, lets go to Daytona Beach! Next I said "well how about Orlando, its not very far away from Daytona Beach"....again I had to show them on the globe where it was (my kids don't know anything about Orlando or whats there...thank goodness!!!)
Once I showed them where it was they said...."No we'd rather go to Daytona Beach because its by the ocean and the condo has a lazy river and big pool."
I said "well I think the condo in Orlando has a big pool with a pirate ship".....I showed them pictures.....there eyes got huge!!....Yes, lets go to Orlando!! (my kids were like puddy in my hands)
They think we're going to Orlando for Thanksgiving and they have no idea that Disney World is there!!
