Don’t spill the beans…

We are going on vacation in a few weeks, but we are going to try not to tell the kids!
Why not? Well, three years ago we planned a trip to Columbus, Ohio to see VeggieTales Live on Stage and we didn’t tell the kids [then Beau 5, Champ 3, Skeezix 1] until we woke them in the morning and headed on our way. It just so happens that a few weeks ago, out of the blue, Beau asked if someday we could surprise them again with a vacation. “Mom, can you do that thing again someday where you wake us up and take us on a trip?” At the time I mumbled something about, “sure, maybe, someday,” and went on with my day. WELL – just this past Sunday, our friends let us know about an opportunity to visit a beach house with them in the outer banks. Another family that was going with them had to back out and their was room for us at a great price. So we prayed about it and JB asked at work and HERE WE ARE planning a surprise trip.

And get this! The curriculum we have for this next year has a 5 week unit on Seashores for science and a 5 week unit on the Wright Brothers, for history. How is that for perfect?!

So – don’t tell the kids if you see us.

But do pray for NO hurricanes!
