I will never get tired of taking photos of my kids, and thankfully, they don’t seem to mind too much:)  We took a walk near our church recently and I snapped these photos of them while they searched for flowers, shiny objects, and cool places to try out skateboard tricks.  I only had to tell them once not to pick up the empty beer bottles and smash them on the ground, although I could see that they still though it sounded like fun;)  They also found an old, graffitied school bus and desperately wanted to try to climb inside, but I told them I was too scared of the rodents we’d find inside (which was the absolute truth).

I love exploring with them, and I am so excited that we are headed on a road trip to St. Louis next week!  It’s a 12 hour drive that we will be breaking up by visiting family in Kansas as well (yay!).  I know it will be a lot of fun, but I’m also aware that road trips with kids can get a bit long and stressful at times.  Any favorite tricks or tips to keeping kids busy (and fighting free) for long periods?
