It's a surprise, Shhhh....

Can you keep a secret? We are taking a trip to Disney World this Saturday for a week.

Since the beginning of the year we have been planning a trip to Disney and have been keeping it a secret from Brayden. We wanted to keep it a secret from Sarah too, but because of missing a couple of things at school we felt she needed to be aware of the work she would need to makeup. When we told her she was ecstatic and could careless about school work.

Our plan is to tell Brayden Saturday morning. We are waiting to the last minute because I can't deal with all the questions of when are we going.

Brayden has no concept yet of time. Here was a conversation we just had today -
Brayden: Mommy, when are we going to Aunt Christy's?
Me: Two weeks.
Brayden: Two sleeps?
Me: No, Two weeks. Fourteen Days.
Brayden: I thought you said two weeks?
Me: I did. Two weeks is fourteen days. Seven days make up a week. Fourteen days make up two weeks.
Brayden: Oh. Two weeks. Does that mean now?
Me: No. Two weeks means two weeks.
Five minutes pass...
Brayden: Mommy, when are we going to Aunt Christy's?
Me: (long sigh)

Now we will just have to deal with our little guy's curious questions from our house until we arrive in Orlando. We are staying at a timeshare there in Orlando and will be going to the Disney parks for 4 days with 2 days off to relax and enjoy the pool.

We can't wait!!! We will be sure to video Brayden's response to the surprise and post it on the blog once we get back.
