We told the kids a little bit of a lie, we said we were going to San Diego. Kylee has always wanted to be that little girl in the commercials that gets a surprise trip to Disneyland, so we had to comply. Right before we picked the kids up from school the day we were leaving, we set up the house with a scavenger hunt. Scott and I tied ribbon going from the front door, winding up the staircase, through the loft, master bedroom, out onto the upstairs patio and over, then through the dining room door and into the living room. Scott made cute little notes for them to read along the way. Here we go...
Here are the pictures we took of the scavenger hunt as we set it up.
We made a little package for each of them to open with a mickey mouse and a Disneyland t-shirt. They were the prize at the end of the scavenger hunt. 
Once we pulled in the garage the kids saw the note on the door and seemed pretty excited to see what was going on. 
Up the staircase... 
They just saw the ribbon go down over the banister and figured out they needed to go back inside and downstairs then outside to find out where to go next. 
Finally they found their way into the living room and got their prizes. 
Kylee was so excited! At first they didn't realize we were going that day, they still thought we were going to San Diego. This picture was taken when I told her we were going right then. 
Mickey and Nathan ready to go.

Our surprise was a success, they had no idea!!
