December 7th dawned bright and early. Our Elf on the Shelf Ze had been making his usual daily appearances around the house and this morning was no different. However this morning he had a very special note:
The kids were super excited and went to school without any idea what to expect. (The elves had called me about a month ago to let me in on the surprise, so I knew what to pack and had it all ready to go.)
While I was picking the kids up from school, we got another note plus a small gift for each kid!
Jude read the note and it took them a couple minutes to fully understand what was happening...
We're going to Disney World! And we're leaving RIGHT NOW!
We piled in the car, picked Lance up early from school and rushed to the airport to catch our 7:00 flight. We would be landing around 9 in Orlando, grabbing a van and driving a few minutes to our AirBnB to sleep the night away and be rested for our first full day at the Magic Kingdom.
Well, that's what we thought. Our plane got delayed a couple hours. No big deal.
It got delayed again. Shoot.
And again. It was midnight and the kids were actually being pretty good, all things considered.
Finally, around 1 a.m. we were able to board our flight.
George and I were both exhausted. The flight was uneventful--the kids kinda slept and we caught a few winks. We landed around 3 a.m. and as usual had trouble with the rental car place. We finally got our van, rented our car seats, strapped everyone in and headed to the AirBnB about 30 minutes away.
It was 5 a.m. before people were in bed. So much for being well-rested! Here's hoping the excitement carries us through tomorrow!
