Long Car Ride

[Chocaholic]

Don't forget a ball or something so they can run of excess energy at the pit stops.

We travel between Townsville and Melbourne twice a year. The first trip with the kids was when the eldest was 4 weeks old. He is now 6 and the youngest is 4.

Main thing is you don't get stressed and yell as that makes them get upset and act up. If it is getting too much, pull over and get them to run laps (or shoot each other with water pistols then strip them off to get back into the car).

It can be great fun or hell depending on how you handle it.

Oh, and don't forget Panadol or Nurofen in case of illness. Whenever we don't pack this, one of the boys will get sick. When we do pack it, they are always healthy. Murphys Law!
