Traveling

So this month we did a super quick trip to KY. With five kids in the car I thought I might go crazy however my children were great. We do not do DVDs and DS's in the car while traveling so I let each kid pack a three gallon bucket that slide under the seat with toys. I packed snacks and this is were I think I was a little bit fun. I made some fruit kabobs with strawberries, grapes, and blueberries. I also made some smores trail mix with cinnamon toast cereal, mini marshmallows, and choc chips. One of my kids favorite things is to listen to radios dramas or silly kid songs. When we stopped places we tried to have them do jumping jacks, run in place, jump up and down, or move silly. When there was any kind of nature we went exploring on nature walks (small walks on the edge of rest stops) one even had a nice trail. Collected pamphlets at rest stops and let the kids look at them during the rest of our drive.
