Random Travel Questions

How do you play Krazy Kickball?  Aunt Lael taught everyone how to play when I wasn't in there BUT Stephen says that these rules HERE look similar to how they were playing.  Picture how you would normally run bases, then run them in this order - 3rd, 1st, 2nd, and then home.  Also, if you are running with a group of people on a base you must hold hands as you run together.  When someone comes home, the next person in line just takes off to 3rd base without kicking.  If two people come home at the same time then two people take off to the 3rd base.  If I have missed something here, chime in Lael.

What is a favorite toy for your long road trips?  One of the LEAST messy toys that all the kids doodled on was this


It is awesome!You fill the pen with water and let them draw and play tic tac toe to their hearts content.  You can check it out here - Aquadoodle Travel Doodle.  Little crafts and Lego kits are fun to bring out and pass time. 

What kind of games do you play as you travel?  A favorite is family trivia.  The kids earn points and then can pick a treat based on points at the next gas station.  Questions are middle names of grandparents, favorite cereal of family members, birthdates, favorite movie or best friend of different family members... you get the picture.  The kids LOVE to play this and learn about the family at the same time.  I also like to bring the Scene It cards from the game and ask Disney trivia.  We also play A thru Z.  We start with A and yell out movies, food... whatever theme you decide and then when we have found one with A we move on to Z.  Some letters are hard, but we manage to find something for each one.  Starter stories is another fun game.  Although it always seems like the boys kill off the characters when it's their turn to add to the story.

Anyway, hope that helps with the questions and trips coming up.  Driving does take FOREVER, BUT you do save money AND it can be fun bonding time!!!!!
