Packing a little one for a road trip

Today is “packing day” we leave early tomorrow morning – Driving from BC down to Oregon and area. This drive, with a 2 year old, should prove interesting. It has already taken me 2 hours just to pack her little suitcase. She likes to “help” meaning she follows behind me and undoes everything I do! Finally I have gotten her suitcase organized and packed (of course there is a different mess to clean up now! E decide to “help” and she emptied our freezer!)

So I had to come up with a solution… Call it desperate parenting… Crib and iPad – worked for about 20mins!

Any tips on travel with toddlers?

Little E – singing “clean up clean up everyone every where” … somehow she thinks she is helping me

and we are off!

Okay – so I start a blog and then I immediately leave for 10 days! ha ha.  Our long awaited family road-trip vacay is upon us.  Well 2 of my kids are away on their own camping for the week so really it’s just me, my partner and our youngest.. either way – I’m EXCITED!  It has been a long year and this is something I’ve really been looking forward to, spending more than a day or two with my partner!  We are headed across the line, into the good ole US of A to visit some family and hopefully check out the Oregon Coast.  I hope to have some pictures to share when I come back.  Until then I will leave you on a cheerful note.. a video of my little E at the park yesterday.E’S HAPPY PLACE AT THE PARK
