Q. WE ARE GOING ON VACATION FROM MISSOURI TO CALIFORNIA. IT'S MY ME ,MY HUSBAND,4 MONTH OLD BABY,THREE LITTLE DTRS AND 14 YR OLD SON.WE WILL BE THERE FOR 2 WEEKS.WE HAVE NEVER FLOWN BEFORE. PLEASE HELP.

Answer
Here are a few ideas on how to pack for a 7-day vacation to California in July.

Each person should only pack what they need. Most children over the age of 4 should be able to easily carry or pull on rollers, their personal stuff from the car to the hotel room, cabin or tent in 1 trip from the car. If you canât, then youâve packed too much!
1.Each person (kids over 4 included) gets their own toiletry bag. Donât make mom responsible for everyone.

2.Pack enough summer clothes for 3 days plus a pair of long pants and nice shirt.
3.While at the pool, do the laundry

4.Toiletries - pack a tooth brush, tooth paste, comb or hair brush, soap etc for each person. Blow dryers etc... maybe.

5.Pajamas: No girlie or tacky sleepwear - bring something that can substitute for a pair of shorts or a shirt just in case of a clothing disaster.

6.Bring 2-pairs of shoes: walking shoes and sandals

7.Bring a Windbreaker of some sort.

8.Sweatshirts or Polar fleece jackets â If you are going to buy souvenirs, buy a sweatshirt or jacket. Itâs a useful souvenir and the memory will last until itâs worn out or out grown.

9.Pack the swimsuits and towels separately. Youâll probably want to use them as soon as you get to the destination. Not to mention, theyâre probably still wet from the day before. On road trips, our towels always drape over the luggage in the back of the minivan so that they can dry. (Thank goodness no one can see them through the tinted windows)

10.Kids Toys- Give each child a small duffle bag (not much bigger than a loaf of bread). Donât forget paper and a writing surface and something to write with (leave the crayons at home. They melt into upholstery and carpet). Keep the car clean and safe. Tell your children âIf youâre playing with a toy, it can be out of the bag. If your not, it goes back in the bagâ. If you have bench seats in your car, be sure to place the duffle bags between the kids. The further the distance between the kids, the quieter the trip.

11.music â This is a great time to learn about your kids and for them to learn about you. Make a CD or a file on the MP3 player with music for the car. This is a little work but well worth it. Each person contributes songs that are appropriate for the family to hear like Kids music, Country, Rock, Teen music or Oldies. Iâve grown to like some of the new music and the kids like some of our music. Itâs fun to talk and sing for a while before they go back to the headphones.

12.Videos â Hereâs where my husband and I disagree with nearly everyone around. You are paying a lot of money to be on vacation, you want to see things. Look out the window! In our car the rule is (most of the time), electronics of any type (Gameboys, DVDâs etc..) are only allowed on the freeways, major highways or at night.

13.Cell phones - Take them, but remember itâs a vacation. The kids can go a couple of days without talking to their friends back home.
--------------------------------
In different one gallon zip lock bags, individually roll the kids
T-shirts, shorts and underwear.
Squeeze the air out.
Place the bags in their suitcase.

If you do this, then dirty clothes never touch clean clothes. Come laundry time, you wonât have to sort laundry and youâll probably have less to wash because we all know a most boys will go days without a shower or changing underwear.

Everyone should have Id along with their 10 essentials - even little ones

I need some cute and fun songs to make a dance to for little boys?

I am on a high school dance squad and I have to make up a dance for boys. this may be all ages but most likely it will be little boys. last year they did a country theme and I hate to do that again but I cant think of any songs that would be good for them. does anyone have any suggestions? I would also take the country song suggestions too!
