Reality Check

 

When I think about taking a trip with my kids, especially as they’ve gotten older, I tend to have rosy ideals of what our time together will be like.  In my mind it looks a lot like this.  (videos work better if you let them load a bit first…)

 

While we do have those moments, they are frequently punctuated by this.

 

 

I’m still not sure how to reconcile myself to reality…

  1. Even though they are staged, there is some very real validity to your expectations and to the reality!!! You should just be like our parents and expect that as soon as the rubber meets the road we will all fall fast asleep and not wake up except for strictly enforced "pit stops" and made in the lap pb&j's

  2. I love the expression on Josh's face in the first video:). I remember when you told me that your yearly road trips to Utah were part of your way of "reclaiming your life" after the triplets were born. I think I'd go with a day at the spa, but to each her own:).
