Taylor Swift Surprise!!
Here the girls are, waiting at the park- n -ride for the other girls to arrive. They've been told we're meeting to go to Köln, Germany to visit the chocolate factory, go shopping and then to a dinner theater. The only reason dinner theater was mentioned was because while packing I almost ruined the surprise. I said to Lauryn "ok, that's a cute outfit for the CONCERT but what are you traveling in????" AHHHHH! I was able to avoid a total fail by saying that concert was the wrong word to use, I meant we were going to a dinner theater.... WHEW! The secret was still in the bag!
Some of the girls were told they were going shopping, some were told to pack for a Mother-Daughter weekend, one was told she was going to a "Mother -Daughter relationship building seminar". All of us adults laughed at the "stories" we told our daughters. It was a miracle that we were all able to keep it a secret for as long as we did. Most of the girls knew Taylor was in Germany that day, and most had asked to go. Those that had asked, were terribly disappointed that they were not going. They were truly surprised when they received their tickets!!
At the hotel, our room came with 2 baby cribs instead of cots. The girls were determined to sleep in the cribs. In the end, I didn't want to hear the creaky beds squeak, so I had them sleep on the sleeping bag we had brought.
We shopped at one of Germany's largest malls. The girls were excited to be inside such a huge mall. The arena was directly across from the mall.
Waiting to go inside the arena.
As soon as we got into the arena, we bought t-shirts.
Brilee with one of her bestest buddies.
You didn't find hot dogs being sold in the arena, coke and pretzels were only to be found. I found it quite funny!
She had come down from the main stage to one of the stages by us. We all ran down and got pretty close.
This was taken right after the house lights came back on.
Lauryn and Brilee had made their way through the crowd on the floor and ended up in the front row with a few of their friends. Lauryn was handed the guitar pick from one of the security men. She was THRILLED!
We had the BEST weekend!! Seeing the excitement on each of their faces made the weekend priceless!

Very Satisfied
Did you know that Big G cereal's provide America's # 1 source of Whole Grain? And, because of this, I felt GREAT about my decision to serve Reese's Puffs with skim milk for dinner.Thank you General Mills for making such healthy foods for our health conscious family! :)
