Planning

We are going to be driving to Florida between Christmas and New years! It is roughly just under 1400 miles. Couple that with four boys having to sit for two straight days, and you see all the planning I am doing.

First of all is the food factor. We want to avoid McNasty at all costs. If you can, rent or get the Super Size Me DVD at you local library and you'll see why! So I am planning snacks and cold meals we can eat at rest stops.

Next is keeping everyone quiet and happy. We are blessed that our Pilot has a DVD player. That will be put to plenty of use, but I don't want to listen to the kids dvd's the whole time. So we will also have lots of read aloud time. The boys love to listen to books read aloud. Right now we are reading The Little House books.

I am also going to print off some coloring sheets and puzzles for the kids to work on.

Finally there is just the good old past time of looking out the window! We will be driving through some very beautiful parts of the country.

15 days and counting! I can't wait!

Have a great day!
