3 pirates and a princess - The big reveal!!

[buzz for boys]

A number of you have been following the surprise trip for our kids and I guess it's a part of a pre trippie ? Mods feel free to move !

Ok so today is the day that the kids find out we are off to Florida on Monday!
We have set up a fake pirate party as a cover up to what we are really doing! Basically the plan is they take part in a treasure hunt and at the end they have a card each telling them to pack as we leave for the airport tommorow!!!

I don't know if I'm more excited or nervous today really hope they take it well especially as my princess is very excited about being a pirate for the day!!

Fingers crossed - just over an hour until we find out if my kids like surprises

I did a variation of this a few years back and must admit, I think I got as much excitement out of it as my daughter did!
Keep up posted !!!!

I am so sorry its been a mental day today and I have had to sit and edit and trim the video to make it that Youtube would accept it then I found out that it was a silent movie so I have pretty much given up and posted just a trimmed raw video.

So heres a link -

Initially the kids sat there waiting for the punch line and then they needed convincing we were not having them on!! After scouring the flight tickets like a group of lawyers they were happy that we were indeed off to Gatwick tomorrow!!
Keira had stopped listening at Buzz lightyear needed help and had entered into some fantasy world fighting Zurg!!

All in all a really good day today and im so happy to have made it to today and pulled this off for the kids x
