Thats right!!!! 5 more days. The last time we went, Ginny was 4 and Keegan 6. We had the same intention (with no plan though) of keeping it a secret. Our secret lasted until the night before when neither one of us could take it and we spilled the beans. Ginny was so elated with excitement that she could not sleep. In her excitement I guess she figured she had to get ready for her trip (before bed) and was brushing her hair long beautiful locks with Nanna's roller brush. Needless to say, we ended up puling every little bristle out of that brush with pliers in an attempt to free a big clump of tangled hair. With no success and the clock nearing 10 pm we finally swallowed our pride and cut the brush out of her hair. :( We laugh now though but back then it was hard to do. The plan for going to bed at 8:00 quickly turned into 11:00 wich even quicker led to our 3 am wake up to catch our flight.

Fast forward 5 years and a couple of weeks and we are determined to not spill the beans. Same time of year, same flight and this time we hope to have everything in check by Monday evening and not to tell the kids until we are in line at the airport. At least this time we can guarantee that Ginny won't be missing a huge chunk of hair from the back of her head. :)

This obstacle is definitely a work in progress.
