Biju took a couple of days off from work this week and we did a couple of family centered activities. As one would imagine, I have tons of photos and video clips so I will try to narrow it all down to a select few. I will also split things up so I'm not photo-bombing you again like I did with our Independence Day post.
Biju is able to get discount tickets to a few fun places through his employee club. He bought some tickets to an amusement park a little over 2 hours away. The kids and I hit the library on Wednesday and we picked up a couple of videos to watch on the drive.
However, I didn't want them zoning out on the movies the whole way there so I packed each kid an activity bag. The night before we went I set out everything I thought the boys might need/want.

| Aren had some fun toys, a Buddy, some food. The other two had some crayons (in that purple tube thing - we got these in India, it was a container full of candy - perfect for holding crayons. And glad we used this because it was so hot the crayons melted while we were inside the park!), coloring books, snacks, the neck pillows I made a couple of years ago, and a lapboard with activities clipped on - Travel Bingo, and Ajay had a couple of Sudoku puzzles. And a few other things. |

| All shoved inside these bags, ready to travel! |

| Ajay also working on bingo. |

| Aren hanging out just before conking out for most of the drive. Yay for naps! |
They stayed occupied pretty well and only asked for a video late in the drive. I took along my latest crochet project and did a few rows on it. (It is going to be a time consuming project so I'll be working on it for awhile!) Biju, of course, drove. It was an easy drive and the kids stayed happy. Nice!
