If you can get them to sleep just the littlest bit during the last week it helps. Of course, it also helps if they are sick. That’s what happened to all 3 of my kids beginning on the supposedly 6.5 hour trip from TX to MS that increases exponentially with each additional child. Then try doing it as the only adult. Super fun.
BTW, how is R&C 3? We have the first 2 but decided to wait ’til 3 goes to $20 before buying. Does Max play it too?
Good luck for New Years! I left my kids in MS and made the trip back in 6.5 hrs. I’ll have to pick them up Sun. But we get New Years and Thomas’ b-day(01-01)!
