Summer traveling with 4 kiddos(a four year old, 22 month old and 2- 5 month olds) has proven itself an adventure in and of itself. One would think the adventure would begin when you are actually at your destination. That is not the case with our family anymore! Last week we took a short trip to Atlanta. A normal 3.5-4 hour trip took us 5 hours with a 22 month old not napping a bit! You can imagine what that looked like...crying, delirious laughing, crying more and then ending with two boys trying to out scream each other. I really wish i had a video of there new exploits together. The girls did fairly well only a few outburst of uncontrollable crying. Thankfully the trip home had them all sleeping until we hit the south carolina border.
Yesterday I took all 4 kids by myself up north a bit to see a dear friend and her new baby. We had a great time and was a relatively uneventful car ride. However, about half way there I started to panic! I began thinking...What if B needs to pee? How will i pull that one off? 4 kids at a rest stop? Really? Double stroller + 22 month old crazy kid...how is that suppose to work. So i came up with a plan... I decided IF he needs to pee we pull over and the boy pees in my empty coffee cup. THANKFULLY, we didn't have to follow through with my plan. I made sure before we left that he had to be twice! Only empty bladders on the way home.
Our next adventures begins in a couple of weeks when we head down south to the beach for a week. We plan on leaving early in the morning for this trip. Should be interesting.... At least B won't have to pee in a cup, with two parents in the van he will have the luxury of his Daddy taking him to the restroom. :)
