This year Scot's parents celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary. We decided that it would be really fun to go and surprise them in San Diego on their mission. Most of Scot's brothers and sisters were able to make the trip so we planned it out and we all left with in a couple hours of each other.
We did hit a major detour however. There was a huge fire in San Bernidino and we ended up waiting on the freeway for over 2 hours. Fortunately we had plenty of snacks and the kids were amazing during the whole thing. It was not very fun and made it very late by the time we made it to San Diego.
We had our surprise planned for later in the day, so we decided to spend the morning at Sea World with Scot's sister Kim. It was pretty busy, but we still had a fun time hanging out there for a few hours.
We planned our surprise for the end of Scot's parents shift at the Mormon Battalion Visitors Center. We were all hiding up in the tower. A sister missionary sent them up there. As you can see they were very surprised and emotional. It was so great to be part of a fun surprise like that. We were so glad we made the trip!
Then we took a tour as a family. We love taking the tour. I would think my kids would be bored of it by now. But they love it, especially when it is done by their grandparents. This one was really special because they got to be with their cousins too.
After our tour and the all important group picture, we went to one of Scot's parents favorite resturants for a fun dinner. It was a little crazy with all the kids, but it was great to be together!
