Every time Daniel's family went on a big trip his mom made everyone "car bags". They were filled with special treats and things she knew they would enjoy. Daniel has mostly taken it upon himself to do this for our family too! Before leaving for summer project down in Clearwater Beach, FL this past Thursday Daniel hit up the fine establishment of Dollar General and brought home all kinds of treats for himself (cause he is a candy junkie) and for Madison (we figured Ash did not really care yet but don't worry we won't leave her out next year). Every hour Madison got a new "special suprise" which consisted of gummy worms, jelly beans and lots of plastic jewelry that usually broke pretty quickly. I told Daniel that next time he was allowed to spend at least $1.50 on the fake jewelry so it would last a little longer! Thankfully, he bought all my treats at the Fresh Market! With or without treats though Madison is a great car rider and Ash has really come along way since all of the car seat induced screaming fits she had so frequntly on our 24 hour drive to and from Colorado last summer!

Fabulous idea! I hope I remember this if we ever go on a long trip.
