Sunday is Father's Day - unfortunately hubs has to work that day, and leave early in the morning, so the kids will have to cram their celebration into a pretty short period of time. They really don't like doing things on the "wrong" day, so suggesting that we celebrate Saturday wouldn't fly. However, Saturday morning they'll be with Dad, Saturday afternoon we're driving to Moncton for a surprise...the circus! They know we're going to Moncton to pick up some gifts, but so far they don't know we're going out for supper - and they won't know about the circus until we arrive. Fun! It's pretty common for kids with autism to dislike {hate} surprises - but these two love them. Good surprises, that is...not 'surprise! You're going to the dentist!' lol. The last time we successfully pulled off a surprise trip was to see Monster Trucks. I thought for sure they would lift off their seats with all the joyous flapping.

We saw this particular circus troupe two years ago right in Amherst, and they did actually perform here last night, but free tickets in Moncton? Not much of an arm-twister to go for that. I'm hard-pressed to say which the kids enjoyed most, the animals or the clowns. With any luck we'll get some photos - heck, with any luck we'll remember the camera.

Anyway, that long digression was simply to say though they won't really think of it as a Father's Day celebration, taking them to see everything & anything is one of the things their dad has always done for them. He plans all sorts of neat things, and they've seen so much because of him. Whether or not it's on the actual day, it's still our Father's Day celebration. Happy Father's Day, Rob :) (Ha! Like he'll actually read this! LOL)
