Gratituesday: The Surprise

June 6, 2011 by Laura 13 Comments

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see our disclosure policy.

 Well, I’ve been taking pictures of our surprise activities all day long. I had all kinds of fun things to tell you about. BUT, we seem to be having some internet issues where we are staying, meaning I may get zapped offline at any moment.

For now, I’ll only stop here long enough to say, Wow I’m thankful for our surprise. The boys are loving it. Their faces have lit up when we’ve sprung on them each surprise on top of the surprise – it’s amazing what they get excited about when we hardly ever do anything vacationy like this!

As soon as I can, I’ll get back online and share more fun details about what we’ve been up to. :)

What are you thankful for this Gratituesday? Write about it on your blog, then come link up with us here. If you don’t have a blog, be sure to leave a comment letting us know what you’re grateful for!

    Have a great surprise vacation! We surprised our kids last week by taking them to a Texas Rangers’ game. They were totally caught off guard! So fun!

    We just got a ‘new to us’ motorhome, so my kids are bugging us to go camping now. We aren’t sure where or when we are going yet, so that’ll be a good surprise for them!

    Thanks for hosting! I’m sharing a post about the outdoor flower shop my daughter built with a friend (who spent to nights with her as a surprise!). Looking forward to seeing what everyone’s thankful for this week. Blessings, ~Lisa

    I’ve started a “Count Your Blessings” list on my blog on Tuesdays. I’m excited to see how high I can go listing 10 at a time. Thanks for hosting Gratatuesday. I love following your blog and have learned a lot from you as a wife and mother.
