While we do our best to minimize the amount of time in the car, there are times when its unavoidable. The kids are great travellers and are generally pretty self entertained. For other times, we play games. There’s the word game where you have to use a word in a sentence that starts with the letter the previous word ends with. Since I’ve joined the tour, we’ve added hangman. This can be challenging when you also have alternative spellings – bff (buff, the lack of vowels really stumped us), somone (someone), shool (school) and the occasional letters added when you’re not looking because they “forgot”.

And sometimes there is no game, book or other quiet entertainment that will stop the screaming and you just have to go with it.

Travelling with Those Johnston Kids(TM) is nothing if not entertaining.
