On the road again, I just can't wait to get on the ... oh wait... I can. We are halfway into our eight our drive. I survived the first day barely, but now they know what is coming. I am concerned we are going to have a revolt when they see the car seats again.Today we have movies, shows and games for the beach. Hopefully these will help you if you are traveling for the holiday week or weekend or at least bring the beach to you if you are staying home (smart move).
Movies:
Surf's Up: This is a cute movie about a pro-surfing penguin who leaves home to follow his dream only to learn that winning isn't everything. Very beachy with the surfing and Pen Gu Island location. I think this is ideal for 5 year olds, but younger will enjoy the images.Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure: This movie is not about the beach but involves working out disagreements between friends - something that siblings can use when closed in the back of a car. It gets my vote for keeping both interested and giving me a chance to talk about other "people" who struggle to get along but realize it is better together.
Shows:
