Thursday, May 7 we were going to leave CT on a jet plane to head down to Orlando at 8:00 at night. I had to get up at 5:30 for work to teach a training class at 8:00. As I did my introduction to my class I told them of the events I had coming out because I was so excited I had to share! Just before I started class I talked to my husband and he told me that our daughter asked him if we were tricking her about my trip to Disney. Out of both of my kids, I expected something like that to come from Kevin not Adrienne. So we had to make sure we created a diversion so that she wouldn’t catch on to anything. So we devised a plan that the kids would ask my mother if they can come over to her house while Kevin takes me to the airport. However, my husband told my mother that when she comes over to say goodbye to me, she would have to explain to the kids that they couldn’t come over to her house because she and my dad had to do something.
When it was 3:30 my class was over and I was able to rush home and do a few things to finish up my packing and then my mom stopped by and told the kids that they would have to go up to the airport with me because she had to do something with my dad. The plan was working. They had no idea. When we got to the parking place I asked them to unload the back of the truck, that’s when the magic happened!

The sunrise was a success. The kids thought that I was going away for the weekend for the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and then I would be coming home for the week and then we would leave for our vacation on the following Friday evening. We completely fooled them! Operation surprise was a success! I know how much I love surprises, like when I received my email invitation that I was coming to the event. I love to surprise my children just as much.
Stay tuned for more updates on the event over the weekend and what other surprises we had in store for them.
Fun! Now to see the results!
