Surprise! You’re going to Disneyland! (Right. Now.)

February 22, 2013 15 Comments

Oh! My! Gosh!
Remember on Monday when I told you that we were going to surprise Grant with a weekend trip to Disneyland for his birthday…?  That’s today!  Happy birthday, Grant!

We just taped his reaction when we told him.

What? Is this the new, mature and subdued Grant?  The seasoned 9 year old?  (I’m guessing it’s the kid who got up an hour and a half earlier than normal and isn’t quite awake yet.)  Just goes to show that you never know what you’re going to get from Grant.

Please follow along with us on instagram, twitter and facebook too. We’ll be using the hashtag #grant2disney.    Oh!  And I’m on Vine now too….  You can follow there as well, but I don’t know how to link you there… I think it’s too new for a website link.  (Or I’m too dumb to find it.  One of those.)

I’m so excited!
UPDATED 2/23/2013 Well, we found out why he was subdued… the flu. We actually had to cut the weekend short. Bummer. Here’s a “non” blurry video from the iPhone.

Wrap up post coming soon.

    It is like he’s afraid to get too excited because that’s when you’re going to say, “JUST KIDDING!” Hahaha!

    […] As I previously mentioned, we live about 20 minutes from Disneyland, but we hadn’t taken Grant yet!  What…?  Last week we surprised him with the news that he wasn’t going to school, but  instead was going to go to Disneyland for 2 days and was going to get to stay in the Disneyland Hotel.  (Now we know that his subdued reaction on this video was due to the fact he was getting sick.)
