- 3. Blend smoothies and take them along!
- 1. Mandarin oranges (clementines)
- 2. Apricots
- 3. Cherries
- 1. Almonds (or mixed nuts)
- 2. Sun flower seeds with paper cups as spitters
- 1. Sugar snap peas
- 2. Baby carrots (or sliced carrots)

Steps
Bring pillows and a bed time teddy. Tell kids that it's a really long boring drive and they need to sleep, reassuring them that when they wake up, you'll be almost there. Repeat until children fall asleep. This works about 10% of the time but it's worth trying.
Always pack a barf bag. Always.
Find a creative way to block sunlight coming into kids windows so they don't end up with a sun tan on one leg. And they'll sleep better.
Bring entertainment. We love listening to Adventures in Odessy (great stories with moral lessons that are entertaining for the whole family). An ipad is a good idea too for cartoons, but we usually break it out as a last resort.
