Most of our trips are extremely long. And not necessarily in distance. I mean long as in very stressful! Our children are NOT 'riders' by any stretch of the imagination and usually we've run out of tricks within the first 10 minutes! To keep our sanity we sing, jam out, watch TV, dance, read books, look at equipment magazines, look at anything and everything that might be of interest outside of the vehicle, eat snacks, play with toys, drink juice/milk, etc.... This particular point in the trip down, we were singing 'If you're happy and you know it'...
Even daddy was participating. {I told you, we're desperate}...
And ofcourse I was entertained by the sky...
Throughout the weekend we...
Rode the boat...
What in the world is John Luke doing?!?!?
Rode the tractor...
Did some fishing...and caught some fish!
Played the drums...
Found some little 'hideaways'...
Hung out with the Mamys...
Got baths in the kitchen sink...
Entertained by the sky...again...
And on the way home...
We found a nice little something we'd all like to bring home with us...
And then we made a quick pit-stop for a waffle cone, and a brownie earthquake. While there, a little girl practiced driving...
Hope y'all had a fantastic holiday weekend!

OH what a fun weekend we had! I am glad that we decided to go. Love all of the Colvins!
I am not really sure what John Luke is doing in that picture either???!!
Looks like fun! We are right there with you with the long trips. They started out just being a trip to Wal-Mart, and now we are (knock on wood) up to a good 1 & 1/2 hrs to 2 hrs before its desperation among the parents. They will get better!
Fun weekend! My kid would be in trouble if he didn't ride well b/c we are always GO, GO, GO!! :)
I had tons of fun at fishing river! :) That last pic of Allie Beth is the cutest one I have ever seen! Love ya'll!
