Thanks all. I think we're going to just have to wait and see what the weather does that day. If we get down early enough, maybe we can go Friday night.
Anyone want to help me plan the surprise? I'm saving any and all packing until Friday morning after they are at school and my husband has to go to work like normal that morning (coming home to pack himself up and load at noon). They should be clueless. The plan is to pick my 5th grader up from school at 1, then head across town to pick the first grader up...it's going to be a long drive across town with the older ones zillion questions...lol. We will hit the road from there. The first clue will be some Twizzlers and Starburst candies (traditional family road trip munchies). My second clue as to where we are going is going to be some brand new pjs (we're staying overnight somewhere). I'm kind of drawing a blank and want one more set of clues. Any ideas? Christmas lightbulbs? I'm hesitant to do anything specific to SDC in case we don't end up going because of the weather. Hmmm.....

. Bummer. Time to figure out Plan B. Bummer.
I am really excited, but bummed about the weather forecast. It's looking like a 90% chance of rain on Saturday. Yuck. I'm a little worried that everything will be shut down at SDC except for the shows and shops which will probably be super crowded. I'm assuming most of the rides shut down in the rain too. Will they still do the parade if its raining?
and I went on it first. Then both of us took her (DH was waiting for a "real" coaster). The 8 year old was afraid she was going to flip out and was telling her not to worry about the big hill, etc. She got off of it and said, "That was boring. What's next?". The next day we all did Powderkeg. I'm not going to lie. I was apprehensive about taking her on that one. I was more nervous than she was. She got off that one mad that it didn't go upside down! The 8 year old had a look of terror on his face at the top of the Barn Swing while my daughter had arms and legs flying and had a huge grin the entire time. Next my hubby and the 8 year old went to try Outlaw Run...no way I was letting my "baby" on that one without someone testing it first. They were on the second row from the front. The coaster got shut down as they were at the top of the hill 
. They had to climb down. Wednesday they tried it again. My daughter was angry she didn't get to go. My husband said maybe we should take her so she quits whining about it. Yeah, no fear of it at all!!! She got off of it and declared it to be AWESOME...next time she goes on it she is not going to hold on at all. Heaven help me when my little daredevil gets older! What shocked us more than anything was that she was scared on Fire in the Hole!
