Vacation Memories
The last time we went away we took our children to visit their grandparents in Florida and to Disney when they were 35 months old. We had day trips, met Goofy, fed animals, rode on golf carts and swam in pools. We made great memories and had a great time but my kids? They don’t remember anything.
Well, they remember somethings but not everything. I didn’t want that to happen again. Now when we go away on vacations, I try to make the memories easier to recall for my kids. Instead of just walking on the beach, we collect shells to take home and make a necklace with or put into a cute container in their room. Maybe we buy a sweatshirt that has the name of the place we were so they can wear in in the winter and remember where we were when we bought it.
At the end of the vacation we make their own little photo album or scrapbook for them to look back on.
We will have movie night and watch our old home movies with popcorn and lemonade.

I take a lot of pics on vacation, then print out many pics for their corkboards in their rooms. We also look at the pics alot on the computer, via a slideshow screensaver.
I hope that they’ll remember some of those great times!
