5.Games, for after they are bored with the music Check

7.Extra clothes, towels,garbage bags,carpet cleaner & jug of water (Just in case they miss the puke bag and we repeat the last time we made this trip!) Check, check, double check check!

I found this video very useful!
Although, the kids in this video make me want to start unpacking, Now!
(Darn it! Was that field trip this week?... Mommy forgot all about it, too bad maybe next time!)

hey Johnina,
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have great fun during your trip!
i loved the video, it's really stuff everyone could use...that little guy saying 'let's hit the road' was hilarious!
thanks for the tips and I wish you lots of luck - perhaps you'll end up with the kids being just like your wordless wednesday. Can't wait to read about how it all goes.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile when I read your post. Friday my son will be going on a school field trip. To the zoo. Unfortunately I won't joining his class. GUILT.
ReplyDeleteHave fun on your field trip!
I hope you had a great trip. We'll be doing a two day drive later in the summer which I have already begun to dread. However, I'm checking out that site for some good ideas. Thanks
ReplyDeleteThis comes in real handy! We're going away next weekend for the first time as a family and it's 6 hours away. Thanks!!!!
ReplyDeletehope you have fun!
ReplyDeleteEr - the video - who gives their kids yogurt in the car???
Now I am scared. In August my husband and I are planning to take our son(who will be 7 months at that time) on a 16 hour road trip to see my brother graduate. Hope we survive! Good luck on yours!
ReplyDeleteWow, I hope you are having a lot of fun on your fieldtrip!
ReplyDeletewell well well, aren't you miss "got it all together?" Touch you!
ReplyDeleteA school field trip? The only thing good about those is that you realize that out of all those other kids, you can be damn glad you only have to go home with the ones that belong to you.
ReplyDeleteUpdate? Do we get an update??
