The Road Trip!

Sunday, Kevin and I woke bright and early (4:30 a.m.) so that we could shower and get ready for our 9 hour car ride while the kids were still asleep. We ended up waking the kids around 6:20 when we moved them from their beds to their car seats. Here they are bright eyed and very AWAKE! Here is our Pilot, excited to get to Greenville.

The kids entertained themselves for most of the trip. Here they are listening to their DVD via headphones, a first for us. This allowed Kevin and I to listen to music or talk without background noise...it was GREAT! Here I am, the navigator to the pilot, and mediator to the back seat club. The kids each have a back pack strictly for travel that is filled with toys, games, books, and other fun filled items to entertain them on our car trips. I keep it packed and ready all the time and they are only allowed to use these items when we travel (so they do not tire of them). Here, is a picture of a train that Camden drew all by himself. Kevin and I are still suprised he drew it! The sad thing is, it is better than any train I can draw!
