Winter Wonderland

I'm going to try and keep this as vague as possible but I need help wording a message.

My sister and I are taking our 4 (between us) children to Winter Wonderland.

Oops!

There is a fixed price for entry but that is deducted if you buy tokens/rides.

I purchased the tickets but due to the children's ages, we didn't quite spend enough to get free entry. So I spent more.

My sister is now asking for an 'itinerary' of our day so that she can show her DC's what the plans are. She will be able to see the full cost.

We agreed in advance how much she would pay and its a lot less than what her and her children's 'costs' are.

I've told my sister that I bought extra rides as a treat. She's going to work out that we needed to pay more from the offset.

She has already transferred the agreed balance and I know she will insist on paying the difference when she finds out.

Our incomes are quite different which is why I am more than happy to pay.

What can I say in advance to sending the itinerary that I don't want anything extra?

  1. She will insist.
  2. She can't afford it.
  3. She is the best sister in the world.

Please help!

Can you just not email details of what you are doing, as her DC have requested, without any mention of cost?

Just type out an email and send it. No mention of cost. If she asks tell her you got a Black Friday deal.
you sound like a lovely sister, hope you all have a great day out

Thank you both. My initial idea was to email her with the activities I've booked.
She is savvy though so regardless, she will check the costs.
There are no black Friday deals. Or at least, there weren't at the time I booked. We both checked so she KNOWS.
Thank you @Beautifulsunflowers she is much more lovely than me. I know I am blessed to have her as a sister.
