Apparently our kids trust us way more than we ever thought they would!
We left bright and early Monday morning, we loaded up the kids with their pillow and blankets in preparation for "the long journey". We had them all convinced we were going to Montana so Kamron could go to a job interview. They kept asking questions about Montana as we drove - such as: "dad, you'll have to drive back and forth to Montana everyday?"(Tyson) when we pulled into the airport, we were sure one of them would notice and say something... nope. It took until we parked and told them to get out that they said, "what are we doing here?"(Tyson) "Are we going on a plane?"(Tyson) "Why don't we just drive to Montana?"(Tate). We get in, gete our boarding passes and head through security. That was a tricky bit - removing all their shoes and jackets and pulling out their ziplock baggies with their liquids... but it went smoothly.
We arrived right as they were boarding our zone on the plane so we went right on the plane. Not one of the kids noticed that we were boarding a flight to L.A. - And as we walked on board at least 5 people asked if we were going to Disneyland. As we were waiting for take off the captain announced it was a flight to LA and I believe it was Tyson that said, "We have to stop in Los Angeles first?" "yep" (They made it too easy, they filled in what they thought was happening and I'd just agree) We watched as they de-iced the plane - that was pretty cool, and finally we took off. Morrissa, Tate and Kyndi were all holding either mine or Kamron's hand out of nervous-ness.
Once landed they asked if we needed to stay on the plane, I told them to follow Kamron. They were convinced that we were going getting off this plane to go board another one headed to Montana. We walked all the way to the bus pick up zone and Morrissa said, "Oh, we have to get on a bus to gete to the next plane?" "yep" The bus pulls up, clearly marked 'Disneyland Express' and they still don't catch on. Finally I say, "Hey Tate, what did the bus say?" "Disneyland Express" I say: "What do you think that means?" "We're going to Disneyland?" "Yep!" Morrissa says, "No we aren't, are we really?" "yep!" Tyson: "But I thought Disneyland was in California" Me: "It is in California" Morrissa: "But aren't we going to Montana?" Tyson: "We're in California?" Kyndi "Yay! We're going to DIsneyland!!" Finally, someone caught on. Then suddenly ten minutes later Morrissa says, "Wait dad, don't you have a job interview?" Seriously, they trust us a little too much.
