The kids were in for quite a surprise a few days ago. While we were in Florida for Caed's Make a Wish, each evening when we returned to our villa, Give Kids the World would have left some special gift(s) for the kids. It was always so fun to come in and see what the "surprise of the day" was! One day, the board game Candy Land was left on the dinning room table. The kids honestly didn't give it a 2nd glance and neither did I. (you have to remember they are WAY TOO GROWNUP for a 3 yr. old game like that!) I had cousin Xan in mind, since we had just spent the day with her. Thought that would be a great gift!
Well, just a few days ago, I was finally unpacking my suitcase (yes, I admit....I am notorious for not touching it for days/weeks after a trip!). I picked up the Candy Land game, and was so shocked. It wasn't just Candy Land......it was the "Give Kids the World" edition!!!! As I opened it up, I got so excited. This was the real deal! Hasbro.....Milton Bradley Candy Land. However, it was specially made for kids that had been to Give Kids the World. Here are a few pictures of the game AND the real life version!
(the big gray bunny is Mayor Clayton. The kids went to his birthday party the first night we were there, but I didn't have my camera. He and his wife (Ms. Merry) will tuck kids in their beds at night if you request.....we just never had the time (always getting in so late!)

Cool!! Have y'all had a chance to play yet? That is really neat, that the company would make the special addition for Give the World. Looks really fun, even if it is a kid game. Caleb may end up getting to play and enjoy the game before y'all ever get back to Disney World. Then Reagan and Caed can tell him all about the really special place they got to stay. Will always be a "memory" game.
The surprises and blessings just keep coming.
WOW!! What a neat game! It is so nice when a surprise comes late! Hope you all are doing well, feeling healthy and staying healthy. Hope it works out to see you this month.
Love you guys,
Carol
