oops!

the video about the disney surprise is actually the post before the explanation of what we did! My bad!!!=)

Here is what we did this weekend! We surprised the kids with a box from "santa" that had a note inside with disney characters pictures that said "We'll see you soon". It went very well as you will see. The excited screaming lasted for at least 30 minutes!! LOL and Jace said to me "I am NOT gonna be able to sleep tonight! I can tell you that!!" LOL

We are going to Disney with our friends Chris and Laura and their 3 kids Kaleb, Elijah and Abby. For those of you who dont know - Laura and I met while we were pregnant with our first children on a website called due date buddies. We instantly became friends and our boys were born 2 days apart. Elijah and Jada are ironically only about 4 months apart. So we got to be prego together twice! They tried to get us on board for round 3 but we went ahead and passed on that one! lol

Chris and Laura are both very talented and creative with electronics!! Laura created the beautiful letter from santa and the trivia game which you can see in the video. Her husband Chris created the movie of what went down. It was so much fun to get this all together and see the excitement after they figured it out! I cant wait to see how they react when they actually get there!!=)

The video is in the next post!!

Epic Disney World Surprise

sharkarosa

Jace's class got to go on a really fun field trip last week to a place called Sharkarosa. Its a wild life ranch in Pilot Point Tx and is actually in 2 episodes of dirty jobs this season. The staff was super friendly and the kids had a blast. Below is the barrel train ride that the kids got to ride on. For those who may not know - Jada's favorite movie is madagascar and her favorite song is "I like to move it" as sung by king Julian. LOL They played that song while the kids rode this train. Jada was Loving it!!!

We also took a safari ride on a tram with gates on either side. There were food buckets hanging from the sides of the gates all along the tram so the animals could come right up and feed. Because they are so used to this they literally come running up along with the tram as soon as they see it coming. Below is the pasture with the camels - they come right up and you can pet them too.
There was also a pasture with zebras and different types of deer - we were not able to pet these animals but we did get up close to them which was pretty awesome. It's so amazing to see zebra stripes up close - they are so vibrant and perfect. Only something our wonderful creator could have done!=)
The kids got to pet a joey and a lemur (Jada tells everyone that she saw king julian that day)lol

This was the pasture with the horses and donkeys. The Clydesdale's were AMAZING!!!
The kids and parents got to learn SO much about these awesome creatures. Truly a fun day!
