Are We There Yet?

When going camping sometimes the ride can be long, too long. These days we do have electronics the kids can play with, or even televisions in our vehicles so the kids can watch a movie. But as a mom I know my kids are already engaged in that stuff more than I like. What we have done is try to play some family games in the car. Maybe you did this as a kid. We have had a lot of fun doing this and some great laughs along the way.

Our favorite game doesn’t have a name, or if it does I don’t know it. We actually saw this game played on the movie John Q. Basically, what you do is pick something to say, it could be anything, something in the car, outside, about the place you are going, or anything your family might be able to guess. What makes this fun is you have to say the word or phrase in a way that makes it hard for the other people in the car to understand.
