Surprise!

We got back last night from a 12 day British Isles cruise. We booked the trip months ago and my parents were to join us. Turns out there has been a whole lot of conspiring, plotting, scheming and downright lying going on in my family. We flew to London the day before the cruise and were to take a train down to Brighton beach where we would meet up with my parents. Everything was on track, we found the hotel and my parents, then Kenny supposedly ordered room service. He told me to open the door when "room service" knocked and there stood my sister, brother-in-law, and two nieces whom I hadn't seen in over three years! It was the best surprise and we made the trip a ton more fun. The kids took about 1/2 a day to warm up to each other and after that had the time of their lives together. Luc was inconsolable last night when we got home because he "missed my cousins." Kenny took a video of the surprise, but I can't find it. Here are a couple of pictures. Kenny's in Italy, so when he gets back I'll try to find the video on his computer and post it.
