A long drive to Canada...

Today we set off to Canada!

I asked how they would be traveling and Superkid said he wanted to drive. So, we setup our "car" in the living room. I draped a blanket over the "backseat" chairs to make it a little more realistic. A "sit & spin" was used for our steering wheel. :-) I pretended to be a mexican border patrol agent and said if they paid me enough I'd give them a ride, since they didn't have a car. I made sure to speak in spanish as much as I possibly could. Made small talk about how they didn't have any luggage and were supposed to be "world travelers!" As we traveled across the United States, we drove through our hometown and our family in CA's. We had to stop a few times for cows, horses and elephants stuck in the road. Of course we made sure to stop for gas plenty along the way. Actually we routinely forgot to check and kept running out of gas! So, we took turns pushing the car until we'd find a gas station. We also took turns driving because you can get awfully tired driving from Mexico to Canada on your own. It was a little rough when the 2yo drove, but we made it through!

Once we made it to Canada, we stamped our passports then snuggled (or "nuggled" as my daughter would say) together reading up on all the weeks geography lessons. They then colored their flags and did a few worksheets. And we called it a day. :-)

Very fun!!
