having dropped my kiddos off at their very first day of school, kindergarten as well as 2nd Grade, I’m back at house plotting a significant surprise while infant Sawyer naps. We are about to embark on a cross-country vacation adventure, packed with highlights that just may strike their bit minds.
A couple weeks ago, Jyl invited my household on an remarkable long weekend at universal Orlando resort including the Wizarding world of Harry Potter.
My other half as well as I are super excited however we haven’t told the youngsters yet. We want the expose to be deserving of the trip.
Here’s why this vacation is coming at just the right moment:
We’re reading Harry Potter as well as the Chamber of tricks together at bedtime, as well as it’s about to find to life in front of their eyes.
They have the Spider-Man book packed into the tag (AKA reading robot) — as well as we’ll be able to trip Universal’s Spider-Man trip at the style park.
Despicable Me is on the iPad — as well as a 3-D movie-slash-ride thing promises to let us jump into the action of that film.
I have a few concepts on exactly how to maximize the payoff of this trick vacation, however now I requirement to execute! exactly how can I enjoy the biggest WOW factor from my huge boys?
I might tell them at dinner that we’re costs the next two days of institution at Hogwarts instead of routine school.
Maybe I’ll utilize black parchment as well as a silvery marker to etch out a coded invitation. should there be a scavenger hunt? Not tell them up until the airplane?
What would Pinterest do? I only have a few more hours to pull this off!
Either way, our flight leaves early tomorrow. We travel for most of the day with a three-hour layover in North Carolina. We show up in Orlando late night (too late to explore) to stay in a hotel on site. Friday, we will tour the primary universal Orlando resort as well as Saturday we will be in the Wizarding world of Harry Potter while staying at Loew’s royal Pacific Resort.
How would you reveal a surprise like this?
