You think you know someone.......Warning...Lots of Pictures

So after 19 1/2 years of knowing Shawn you would think that I know him pretty well right?  Most of the time the answer is yes but last weekend he actually surprised me.  He was watching Savannah play her Guitar on Wednesday Evening and he said he had a realization of how fast the kids are growing.  On Friday night after a movie and ice-cream (yeah!!! a date) he told me to pack up some clothes for the kids and I.  He also told me to call Julie and see if she would work for me on Saturday and Monday.  Hmmmmm, I thought.  Maybe a trip to Park City.  Nope.  I was wrong.  It wasn't Park City.  It was...............

DISNEYLAND


Of Course.  Disneyland.  Where else can a kid (and an adult) act like a kid without feeling silly.
  Shawn had booked the flights, the hotel, the car rental and had bought the Disneyland Tickets online.
  What a surprise.  We had a blast.  We did Disneyland the first day and Disneyland California the second day. We did our big turkey legs for dinner one night and ate chocolate covered bananas for a snack.  Savannah and I got henna tattoo's that were the tiger sign for the Chinese zodiac.  Both the kids picked out new hats.  At California we saw the most amazing water/light show ever.  It was called the "World of Color" and it was AWESOME.  I took millions of pictures of it.  The kids favorite rides were pretty much the same as the last time we went.  Nick loved the Tower of Terror and Savannah loved the California Screamin Roller Coaster.  I think that I loved almost every ride I went on.  Even Splash Mountain was fun this time.  I even went on it 2 times in a row.  Shawn loved the Indiana Jones ride. 

We made it home just in time for most of the day of school on Monday to both of the kids dismay.  Disneyland will do that to you.  Nothing else can compare, especially school.  Thanks Shawn for the surprise.  Maybe it will be my turn next to surprise you!!!!!

Way to go Shawn. That's awesome that he was able to pull all of that off without you even knowing.

That light show looks amazing. I can't imagine how much moreso it would have been in person. How fun for you guys!
