How we surprised our 6 yo son

[mmlover74]

We arrived at the hotel...PVI, checked in, unpacked, and said we were going for a walk. He went to our van because he didn't want to walk. I told him "we were going to a Lego store" He was walking with a purpose to the crosswalk. In the meantime, we passed people wearing ears, DL banners on the streets, the gift shop at the hotel...he is still unaware.

I walk ahead of him with the camcorder and we get to the crosswalk. My husband tells my son to look past me and read the sign. He read the DL sign and went nuts. We got big huge hugs and I was so glad he had that reaction instead of wishing he was at LL.

Thanks guys, we weren't sure how to tell him and that's how it came about. He was very willing to get up early to go on the rides.

Young innocents can be so fun. What a fun way to surprise him. Your lucky you pulled that off, and that he didnt read any signs along the way.
