12 Hours

These are the faces of a family very happy to be on vacation.

Best way to entertain a 5 1/2 yr old in the car for 12+ hours? DVD player? Maybe, but we didn't get one in time. Singing? Yep, that works for a while. Sugar? Well, that always works, but the crashes are hell. Scotch tape? Oh yes. Miracle of miracle toys. Hours of entertainment. Inexpensive and can be purchased at gas stations along the way. Apparently little boys LOVE to tape stuff. Next bday gift we have to buy for a kid, I'm going with a box of tape.

Best way to entertain an 11 month old in the car for 12+ hours? Have a baby Peri. Rockstar. The only time she gave us trouble was after lunch at Chik-fil-A (love the south!) when we tried to put her back in her carseat. But that's understandable after all that time!
