Road Trippin'

We embarked on our 1,200-mile journey west this morning. The girls were loaded up with all sorts of car-friendly activities: coloring books (with "Color Wonder" markers that only color on special paper), sticker books, notebooks and pencils, audio picture books and DVD movies. Julia is browsing through her Elmo sticker book here - Evelyn drew a picture of a worm family, and then she wrote a story about their family portrait. This "story-starter" book was one of the best things I've ever bought for $1.00.

By the way, our car is loaded to the gills because we are bringing baby things to family members. Thankfully the car will be much less full on the return trip.
