Birthday Surprise times 2!

Months ago when we heard Disneyland was offering free park admission on your birthday I created an account for the twins. Then began the planning and saving for a possible trip to Anaheim. All our children were invited, but only the single ones could afford to take time off and go with us. After pushing the pencil on the cost of motels or hauling our travel trailer we opted for the trailer and I made reservations at an RV park 10 minutes from Disneyland. We really wanted to try and keep this a secret from Taylor and Tessa. Money was saved, tickets were purchased and time off from work was arranged, all without their knowledge. One Wednesday night right before we left we were coming home from singing at a local nursing home and were sitting in the car at the grocery store. They began to talk about what they would like to do for their 8th birthday. A party with friends, Chuckie Cheeses, or John's Incredible Pizza....... how about camping I said??? They were LIT UP! It was so fun from then on out to talk about going camping. We arrived in Anaheim and the first morning took a walk and ended up at Disneyland's entrance. They still had NO idea. It was not quite as exciting as we had imagined because they neither one really knew what Disneyland was. On the way in Tessa asked me "Do they have lots of rides?" But they are quick learners and had an absolute blast. We spent 2 days and were able to visit both parks. And we want to go back again........
