Another Big Surprise



Because we got Daisy this winter, we decided to forgo any overnight "vacations" that we might have liked to go on. I know the kids really missed our Castaway Bay overnight trips so Eric and I decided to surprise them yesterday with a day trip to Splash Universe. It is closer to home..about an hour and a half away. Avery and Reagan were completely surprised. After school Tuesday we told them that Avery wasn't going to school on Wednesday. Instead we had a surprise for them. We kept "slipping" with incorrect and sometimes correct hints. Their guesses ranged from Disney on Ice to seeing amovie. i think Avery might have guessed Splash Universe once too. Our plans were almost cancelled when I got a touch of the 75minute flu at 4 am. Is that possible? Anyway, one toss of the proverbial cookies and the trip was back on. We had such fun. The girls have both come such a long way from being timid on the kiddie slide last year. they both rode the "grown up" slides with Eric and I. I was SO impressed by their bravery. they both "swam" with their life vests on as well. Both of them can't wait to go again.
