The surprise party was crazy. We had friends come over to help decorate and get everything together since we only had 45 minutes to get everything set up, including the food. We really had no idea how many people would come. We handed out 80 invites, and low and behold over 75 people came! It was amazing. The kids knew we were going, but not when, and we totally got them. They were so surprised. Austin and Emma's faces were classic, and the look of terror/surprise was then a huge smile on Austin's face and a shy grin on Emma's. When they cam in we had the cake lit and sang the following to the tune "For He's a Jolly Good Fellow":
For they are going to Florida!
For they are going to Universal!
For they are going to Disney World!
To have a very good time!
I made everyone practice a few times. Our party guests were all good sports and participated. We then had some snacks, cake, and homemade lemonade made with lemons from our tree. Ben and I made a slurry on the stove so we didn't have to mix the sugar and let it dissolve. It is the picture that looks like bile. Kind of gross, but it really did taste good. We showed a video of all the things that Austin has experienced leading up to the Wish Trip.It was an awesome party and we were overwhelmed by the love and support we felt. It was the perfect way to start our trip.
