Traveling WIth Children Stories
When you're traveling with children, you can expect just about anything.
The most difficult thing is keeping them occupied. We all have heard
Are we there yet..
I gotta go..I really gotta go.
Mary touched me..
That's
my book.
I'm hungry.
When we were travelling long distances,
with our three children, we tried everything to keep them busy or quiet.
Spelling games would
be the start, then I spy with my little eye and animal sounds. We had our treats as well.
Many times we would have to stop on the side of the road for "I gotta go."
One
of the better methods, I read about, was to give each child a roll of coins.
Explain to them
that you would take coins away if they were not good.
This is good, especially if you are going
on vacation.
Traveling with children stories, would like to hear your story.
It
could be a humorous story or a way that you found to keep your children occupied or quiet.
Dad, how did that land get out there?
A number of years ago
we were travelling to visit my sister. The drive was about two hundred miles.
There were
a few towns but most of the drive was open country.
We were passing through a small coastal town.
There were fishing boat, moored offshore.
Some were pulled up on islands, just a few yards from
the shoreline.
Our oldest daughter, was about 5 years old and had her face pressed against the
window.
She was looking at the water, the gulls and the boats.
Then
the question.."dad, how did that land get out there?"
