Taking A Trip with (Little) Kids & Making Lists

Marina is 4 years old and quite happy to get her own travel bag. I mean really happy. She is borrowing it from Grandma, and EVERYTHING "grandma" is special.

Stella is 1.5 years old needs her own bag too. Meaning: she wants her own bag. When Marina was Stella's age, she didn't care about having her own bag. But when you see your sister has something she really likes and you don't? You use all means possible to get one of your own (usually accomplished by trying to take big sister's bag). It's pretty effective by the way. Who would've thought a little toddler could be so bold?

Here is one of my many lists to do before my big trip:
__ water plants
__ gather food from garden
__ pack kids clothes (while they are not around)
__ make list for animal sitter about animal care
__ get supplements
__ call & meet with animal sitter
__ buy sunscreen
__ make food lists
__ super glue sunglasses
__ Figure out how you are going to carry a kid and stuff while backpacking
__ make more lists
__ fix water timer for garden
__ get ingredients for margaritas
