Disney World Surprise

Last week after Brice's party, we quickly called him inside for the biggest surprise of his life.  Justin sat him down at the bar stools and told him they had to hurry because in about twenty minutes they needed to leave for the airport to go to Disney World.  Justin is always kidding around with Brice and saying, "Hey Brice, wanna go to the beach right now?"  And of course, Brice has now caught on to this act so when Justin told him about the Disney World Surprise, he didn't believe him.  He told us he really believed us when he got on the plane!!!  I videoed the entire thing which didn't turn out quite like I had imagined.  Brice was a little underwhelmed in it and also very tired from running around with his buddies.  Brice quickly showered and then they were off to the airport for a one day trip with Mickey Mouse.  They had an awesome time together and I hope that we are always able to do one-on-one time with each of our children.  Not that we need to go all the way to Orlando for this time, but...

Here are some pictures, taken with Justin's blackberry so some of the quality isn't that great but I am so glad to have documentation of his special day.  I am already wanting to take Anna!

What an awesome surprise for him! Props to you guys for making him feel really special and allowing him that one-on-one time! I had a good birthday, but not as exciting as Brice's! ;) Hope you are feeling good!

I actually thought Brice was overwhelmed. He was stunned! He wanted to believe his Dad, but couldn't grasp that this was really happening. Brice likes a schedule and a plan and this was such a huge surprise, it took a few minutes to sink in. Sounds like Brice and Justin had a great time! How special!
