Our compact little family of four has inherited two more kids for this road trip. Now here we are, camping in Pittsburgh, with four kids age 3-6. The eight hour drive here was the hardest part, which actually wasn't that hard at all. The problem was that I wasn't prepared for three girls and a boy. I have all of my Dollar Tree road trip toys bought in identical pairs, and they are all girl toys. So, I abandoned that plan and had them share their road trip boxes, which I filled with markers, crayons, paper, and coloring books. One road trip box for the back seat and one for the back-back. That, combined with a sing-along and some books was enough to keep them entertained until they finally slept. We left at 6pm and they slept around 10pm.
Now here we are at camp, and it is great having four kids. They can pair off and entertain one another. My mom always says, "have them in pairs," and she should know, she has three.
