For safety, I'd recommend switching drivers more often. My dad's policy on our family road trips is to switch every hour. He generally considers an eight hour day with driver changes to be a full day of travel (on the other hand, I imagine the logistics of a hotel room for 4 people are easier than for 7). We generally don't pay too much attention to eating healthy on the road because getting out of the vehicle for an extended break for meals helps with fatigue, so we just select a restaurant from the "next exit" signs when people start getting hungry.

@7Aheadfamily 9 ай бұрын

Very good advice! Thank you ❤️

@JonBrase 9 ай бұрын

You're much more polite waking up Mark and Benson than my mom was at that point in my life. By that time she was content to troll mercilessly: "Do you hear that loud annoying noise? It's your mother's voice!" I've always had trouble eating and digesting after an early wake-up. Probably what's going on with Ezra.

I know right. 😁 We actually usually do play a scavenger hunt game, but we were running so late on this trip that we forgot that, but yes, the kids do love to play games in the car. I think we did that in this video where we traveled 1010 miles in one day in the RV, but I cant remember for sure.

Anybody any tips for how to get yourself to eat fruit and vegetables I get tummy issues cos I don't eat fruit I've tried smoothies when I was in hospital and they did smoothie Saturdays refused them at first vos they were green coloured so they put me strawberries in so it was a red colour reluctantly drank it not had smoothies since sll my life even my mum couldn't persuade me to eat fruit or vegetablesvi said its only for rabbits any ideas would be a great help thanks

@7Aheadfamily 10 ай бұрын

That’s the cool thing about a smoothie is you can make it how you like it, and still get in a lot of nutritional things. Is there a favorite fruit you do have? For example, if you like mangoes, you can use the basic structure that I did on this shake and get a lot of greens and stuff in there, but then put in a bunch of mangoes and, you can have a pretty good tasting shake and still get all your vitamins.😊 The main thing, though, is mindset. You have to know your why, and it has to be stronger than you desire to not eat healthy.

Based on how long ago this was filmed Simon was probably still in diapers for the trip. If Simon was starting to get to the point of being embarrassed when he uses his diaper in front of other people that might explain why he was covering himself with the blanket. On the other hand, if Simon wasn’t wetting his diaper at the moment (or if doing that didn’t really bother him yet) he might have been experiencing light sensitivity and/or visual overload. Or he was copying what the person in the seat next to him was doing. Maybe they were playing some kind of a game.
