Our next stop was the "big surprise". Over the whole trip we told them we had a surprise planned but wouldn't tell them what. Not even as we drove there. Once we turned off the highway, the excitement exploded from the back seat.
First order of business: breakfast and planning.
The kids all agreed Lego driving school was up first. It took some practice, but they all earned their licenses.
Over the next two days there was negotiation, splitting up and maximizing their time in the park.
When the time finally came for shopping, I convinced the kids to buy bulk Lego and create their own kit. They decided to pool thier resources and design one creation. The piece were selected and for the rest of the trip, the back seat was a planning room with the kids eager to get home and start building...together.
Peter and I challenged each other to make minifigures of us: Peter made mine and I made his.
Omg! So amazing. I love everything about this... From the backseat planning to the miniatures...everything.
