Last week (5/20-5/28), as many of you know, Art and I were on vacation. This year our vacation was one that we haven't had the finances for about eight years now because of other responsibilities. Then with my cancer and recovery, well, we just haven't been able to take the time. It's been awhile since we have been to Disney World in Florida and I needed a Mickey fix. Bad. So we did something that we've wanted to do for a few years now--planned a surprise trip to Disney for my cousin Steve's girls, Taylor and Shelby. Their mother Theresa, Steve, Art and I, were able to plan the whole trip and keep it a secret for almost four months. (Something that actually AMAZED Theresa and I). We told NO ONE until just a few days before we left on May 20 because we were so afraid that someone would slip and say something to them. But, we pulled it off. We did have to tell them they were coming to "Birtville" for the weekend and might do something special, but that was pretty much the extent of it. Friday morning we woke the girls at 5 am, and told them to get ready because we were going on an adventure. We gave them a gift bag with clues consisting of tropical flavored shower get and body lotion, a journal that had a picture of Mickey Mouse on the cover, a neck pillow, and lastly a tee shirt that said, "I'm going to the Walt Disney World Resort". They were pretty excited to say the least. So off, we went for the next eight days and oh what fun we had! Will post some pictures over the next few days!
