Parental joy

The best picture I have of my daughter is when she is kissing a dolphin at Dicovery Cove. An expensive day out and she was about 11 at the time but the look on her face was worth every penny.

:thup: :)

I don't have very many memories of things I did with my parents mainly because they were always at work to keep a roof over our head, food on the table and give us the best possible education.

I'll always be grateful for what they did for us but still wish we'd done a few more things together

I have exactly the same picture on my living room wall now :D

Well it's my daughter and not yours, but I'm sure you get my drift.
 
My son who has Downs Syndrome was Disney daft, actually still is at 21, so when he was 14 we saved up for two years to go on a "once in a life time" holiday. Orlando is THE ONLY place to do Disney (sorry but it is). Go in November and make sure the kids is USA are all at school, you will then have small queues to deal with. Cheap flights etc. Anyhoo, his face was a picture. Well mine was too to be honest. We all loved the place. The Yanks love us too. He could go on the big rollercoasters, but went of most of the others. Universal was preferred over Disney, strangely, maybe we left it a tad late, but we had to make sure he was big enough to go on the rides. He loved it, and when asked, wanted to go again, ....so we did three years later. It has been recently talked about again, but eldest grandson is at big school so not sure if we could risk taking him out.
But thing is, it was great to see all our faces lit with smiles for two weeks !!!!!
 
So assuming there are still some left in the band by then that will be great as I will tell her on the day as well.

We tell our kids in advance so they can get excited about doing something.... a whole week of excitement is better than finding out on the day IMO, ...they remember it for longer.

Agreed.
I told my son at the age of 3 that Father Christmas didn't exist,why should that work shy bearded fool get all the credit for all those expensive presents?

This didn't really happen.
 
If your kids liked Harry Potter then take them to the Harry Potter Studios. Great day out, brilliant exhibition. Mine were chased by Death Eaters and their faces were a picture.

I am taking my 30 year old wife there in a couple of weeks. No kids, just us two adults enjoying something we both grew up with one last time before our first wee one makes an appearance.
