A few weeks ago, my friend Lori emailed me about planning a midnight trip to Drubers for our 6th graders. For those of you not from this area, Drubers is an all night Donut Shop in Newton. I had never been there but am always up for a fun time. So "Operation Goobers to Drubers" was formed. We both did a great job keeping it a secret from the kids. The surprise might have been on us though, because Lori called me at 11:00 and told me to look outside. We were in a snow storm! That didn't stop us though. So at 11:40, I went downstairs and told the girls (Alli and her friend Anna) that it was time to go. They ran around going nuts trying to find their shoes and really freaked when they saw Frazer's van in the driveway. Good thing we drove separately because in between phone calls to Cade and Colton to try to guess where we were going, they were fixing their hair in the mirror. Girls, girls, girls! They had no idea where we were going but in the end, the two biggest guesses were Cosmic Bowling or a graveyard. I think they were happy with the outcome. Here are a few pics.

This was my imitation of the old V8 commercials where everyone stood diagonal until they drank one. The kids were too young to remember them, but Lori thought I was funny.

We made them pose for some pics afterwards. I'm not sure if Cade was trying to poke Alli in the eye or not. But it sure looks funny. Notice the girls are in their pjs and the boys are still in their band clothes from the field trip to Lindsborg. Gotta love the difference between boys and girls.
"Operation Goobers to Drubers" was a great success. I don't think any of them will forget their first trip anytime soon.

What a fun idea!!! Something we may have to remember in a few years. You're always so creative!
What a fun idea! The kids looked like they were having fun and the suspense is half the fun!
I will have to keep that in mind.
