At the last minute we decided to drive down to Louisiana for Thanksgiving. And at the very last minute we decided to leave Tuesday night and drive through the night! It actually went pretty well. It was about 16 1/2 hours in the car. The only person we told was my dad. We wanted to surprise everyone else. We got to my mom's house, where my brother and his family was, at about 10:30 AM. We headed over to Walmart where my mom was working just before her lunch break. We all hid and we sent Kaelyn up to the counter. Kaelyn was standing behind a computer so my mom didn't see her. My mom walked around the counter and saw Kaelyn. She was shocked. It was fun to surprise her like that. Thanksgiving day we headed over to Ryan's brother's house to surprise them. Ryan had found out what time they were going to be there. They were pretty surprised. Then we went to my grandparents' house and surprised everyone there. We were outside when one of my sisters came drove up, so we all hid behind cars and when she got out of her car we sent Kaelyn and Morgan out running to her. Kaelyn was screaming, "Nowie!" My sister said that she was looking around and didn't believe her eyes when she saw Kaelyn. We couldn't surprise Ryan's dad and step mom. We didn't know their schedules and it's a good thing we didn't just show up. They were pretty busy that week. And when we were getting ready to go to their house, we forgot our camera! It was fun trip and we are so ready to move back home!
