Friday Night Comes Around.
5:30 wife started to think up a plan
"Why don't we get out of town tonight?" wife says to husband over the phone
' What has she got cooked up?' he must think...{ yet knows better than to argue with wife}
"I know! Silverwood in Idaho!"
"I'll call and get a hotel, pack the stuff and we'll keep it a secret!" wife says with enthusiasm
"It's a plan! I'll head home now and we can leave when you get off work at 6:30" husband rushes home
Wife sends kids to grandma and grandpas house across the street, to secretly put bags in the car.
PLAN WORKS!
Kids have no idea, they think mom wants to go for a drive and are overjoyed at the fact that they get to watch a movie for the ride.
12:30 comes around, family pulls into hotel in Spokane , two kids are asleep in the back
8:30am Saturday morning rolls around- kids want to swim at hotel, mom wants to keep driving, kids pout
10:30 family passes by small water slide park, kids want to stop and play- mom says no, she wants to keep driving, kids cry, they think they are in Chelan
Kids get over it and continue to watch the movie
Family drives up to Silverwood parking lot
Mom takes pictures of excited kids!
Kids have a Great Time!
Parents have a Great time!
Everyone is Happy!
Everyone is tuckered out...
What a GREAT weekend!
