So after much anticipation and planning we pulled off a fun surprise for Allie and a family vacation at the same time. We have been planning for months with our good friends who now live in Arizona a trip to Disneyland. We kept it a secret from both girls (Allie and Haley) who knew they were going but not at the same time.
We arrived a day early to have a "family day." The kids were so excited and were so good. At the end of our first day there we headed back to our hotel. 10 minutes after we got into the hotel room Brock decided to run and jump on the couch and of course split his head open...I know BIG surprise. It bled like crazy and I thought for sure we were going to be on our way to Instacare somewhere in Anaheim. Anyway it bled really bad for about 5 minutes and then it slowed down enough to where I thought we would be okay just putting a bandaid on it. So in all the pictures, he has a nice bandaid on his forehead.
Monday was the big surprise day. We arranged for us to meet at the castle in Disneyland. The girls walked right past each other, obviously not thinking they would see anybody there that they knew. When they finally saw each other, Allie was completely in shock, she didn't even say anything at first, just stood there with her mouth open. Haley ran up to her and gave her a huge hug, it was so CUTE! These girls have missed each other to the point of tears and haven't seen each other since May 2. I think they held hands for the next 6 hours while walking around Disneyland. We spent Mon, Tues, Wed, and Thurs with our friends, had a lot of laughs and lots of cute pictures. The kids were all so good. We hit almost every ride between Disneyland and California Adventure. Allie's favorite rides were Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Grizzly Rapids, and Indiana Jones. Brock's favorite rides were the Chip and Dale roller coaster in Toon Town, the Rockets in Tomorrow land, Dumbo and Buzz Lightyear. I think they really loved all of them. Wednesday was our 10 year anniversary and Ken and Heather offered to take the kids and let us go to lunch at the Blue Bayou in Pirates of the Carribean. We had a good lunch and a nice (short) break from the kiddles. Anyway, we had a blast and can't wait and are already
planning next year's trip back.

What a fun trip! I love Allie, and she was so excited to tell us all about your trip in class last Sunday. I totally would have been in tears watching the two girls see each other.
I love Disneyland! That is so great that you didn't tell the girls. What a reunion! We need to get Morgan and Allie together again.
