Disney Surprise!

Only two short weeks ago we decided to take the kids' to Disneyland for Spring Break! We had been tossing the idea around but officially decided and booked the trip. Jon's brother Jeff also thought about doing Disney for Spring Break so we said hey let's go together! We thought it would be fun to surprise the kids with the trip. Jon wanted to wait until the day before we left but I said "I need their help to get ready!" So instead we told them last night, only six days before leaving. My sister-in-law's idea was to have the kids go on a geocashing hunt. After our Sunday dinner together we went on our geocashing excursion in the green belt behind Jeff's house. All the kids, Temple and I followed Paige as she read the directions from the Iphone.

We then came to the location of the metal box. As the kids looked inside it they brushed over the little card that was on the top which told about the trip.

McKenna finally looked at the card again which read "Hey Jackson Kids, You are going to Disneyland for Spring Break!" Even when she was reading it out loud none of them realized what she was saying until the very end and then it was pure excitement!They all kept on jumping up and down, screaming, hugging, and saying "I can't believe we are going to Disneyland!" It was so fun surprising them! They then skipped, ran, and danced all the way home singing "It's a Small World!"

So I'm leaving in just five days from now...

We'll drive for 16 plus hours to get to Southern Cali...

We will be hopping back and forth between Disneyland and California Adventure for six days...

We have ten kids ranging from 3 years old to 14 years old and four adults...

We'll have to brave the Spring Break crowds....

And then we will drive 16 plus hours home on Easter Sunday...

So we can take all these kids to the "Happiest Place on Earth!"
