Did any of you ever play the alphabet game while on trips when you were a kid? Not the one where you find letters on the side of the road, but the one where you start with I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing.....
Chris taught the kids this game while we were on vacation in Utah this summer. Madison decided she wanted to play when we were on the way to the pumpkin patch yesterday. It kinda fizzled out but Cameron and I played on the way home and we made it all the way to Z right as we were pulling in the driveway. :) I thought it would be fun to remember our silliness...
(Cam started with A and we did every other letter...)
I'm going on a trip and I'm bringing...

That was a fun time with Cam. We got more and more creative as we went along as you can see. :)

ya i like the last few items the best :)
Ha, I need to play that with my kids in the car - they drive me nuts sometimes asking toooooo many questions and this would make them think. Thanks for the idea.
I hope all is well and you are surviving this trial! I think that is awesome you came up with a little more than 26 things you are thankful for - maybe I'll have to try that one too.
You are adorable! I want a vault of cash too and I love that you put Kara on the list. I would put Kara on my list too in the K spot, although the kickboxer is pretty awesome.
comments have to be approved!?!? You're so paranoid! Don't approve this comment. I'm just messing with you.
So, is it just me or are you not bringing anything with an N? Oh wait. I guess you're bringing "Nothing" for N. Makes sense why it got left out then. :-) Seriously, between Mia and optimism... what would you bring? Nougat? Nickels? North American Cuisine? I'm curious to know.
