It CAN be done!!!

In a minivan we loaded five kids (two almost 6 year olds, two 3 year olds, and one six month old - and two mama's) and drove 4-5 hours into the mountains for our fourth annual snow trip with our friends. The dad's took the station wagon loaded with stuff.

With lots of snacks, books on tape, colouring books and car games there were minimal stops (all for potty calls). Dramamine, however, was employed as we headed both into and out of the mountains, which certainly simplified the demands as they all napped - except for the baby - at the same time.

Of course, it was humourous as the two big girls fell asleep all over each other, and every so often we'd hear from the back "Elley, get OFF me", or "Phoebe - quit pushing"!
