A Surprise

Last night, Jason pitched a plan to me to get away a bit during Easter break.  Nothing big, just a little family get-away since our February "break" was full of ... blech and we've got a ton of things to get caught up on at home during Easter break. 

So, we got it all confirmed last night and this morning I told the kids we have a surprise (our daughter had overheard little tendrils last night!) but that we'll wait for Dad to get home to tell them.  They're pumped we're taking a little vacation and have no idea where it is aside from it's outside Saskatchewan, but inside Canada :)

But, I'm BURSTING with this!  And, I can't believe that we're doing this, but it just worked out!  We're taking them to Edmonton - I know, not that exciting (aside from the Disney Store and Ikea - remind me to make my list!), but you'll never guess who's there while we are.  BON JOVI!  My favourite band since I was 16 - yes, that's 24 years ago!  I've loved them for three fifths of my life.  And, we're taking the kids to see them in Edmonton!!  They even have cheap seats, so if it's just too much for them, I won't feel like we're losing out if we leave early.  I can't believe my kids will experience their first rock concert at the ripe old ages of 8 and 9 {giggle}

Now, don't say a word - help me keep my secret!  It was all Jason's idea, so I want him to share the news with them tonight.  I can hardly wait till he gets home today - they're literally gonna jump him at the door :)

Can you SEE the awesome scrappy opportunities this will present me with?  Gotta have the camera ready when he walks in the door tonight ...
