He had to drop me off at work because we had an April, FOOL THE GIRLS, plan to pick them up today after a slumber party and then pass right by our house all the way to Mt. Pleasant's Indoor Waterpark....YIPPEE! They were pretty surprised. I had the plan worked out that we would pass by our road, the girls would probably say, "We missed our turn!" or something like that....and then we would tell them where we were headed. I thought Brad and I were in agreement with this plan, but when we missed our road and they started to question the situation, Brad said, "We are going to look at some waterfront property that mommy wants to see" :P....WHAT! I was only going to make them wait the 25 minutes until we passed our road to find out the secret surprise, but Brad spontaneously decided to make them wait all the way to Mt. Pleasant. I shot some visual darts and a few strong whispers his direction because I knew the girls would become completely annoyed having to wait almost two hours to know the plan. Plus, I am not good at keeping surprise secrets for very long....25 minutes was about as long as I wanted to wait.
What compounded the issue was that Kassi already knew the plan. She had been home sick when we made the reservations and she was sworn to secrecy....only, she has all this anxious energy when she is sworn to secrecy and she was so antsy the whole trip. She kept asking questions...."SO, what ARE we doing, guys?" "Where is Kooper? Is he at home or somewhere else?" wink...wink....very "over the top", but she thought she was being her normal self. Finally, we made it and the girls figured out what was going on....but, Brad had hidden their swimsuits in the stowaway compartments in the van, so we had fun acting like we forgot their swimwear :)
Yay! There was a Culver's pretty close to the hotel, so we ate dinner there, then went swimming, then went back for our custard after the water park closed....gotta love that deal!
