He'll have a chance to unwrap a present and play with it then when it gets old, there's another one. It's kept her girls busy for hours.Jen Appleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03714771890704699096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794875795785300832.post-62278968491928946422013-05-30T18:43:05.049-04:002013-05-30T18:43:05.049-04:00We did Maui sans children but I'm sure there w...We did Maui sans children but I'm sure there will be plenty of toddler friendly activities! As for apps, I recommend Tap Tap Baby and any of the Duck Duck Moose apps (I like wheels on the bus the best). Peek a boo zoo and a regular bubble pooping app are also fun.<br />When I fly with my toddler we throw normal eating out the window and eat snacks, snacks, snacks! I also pack Smarties as a treat (bc she never gets them at home) and they take a while if you hand them out one by one :)<br />Have fun!katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13874476902804996767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8794875795785300832.post-51712333809275352602013-05-30T15:55:19.181-04:002013-05-30T15:55:19.181-04:00The Maui volcano bike ride is amazinggggg!!

One of the times we flew, the flight attendant gave me grief about changing B's diaper (on a changing pad) in the seat next to us so be prepared to change him in your lap if necessary. <br />-Go to the dollar aisle at Target and get a couple of new toys, books or art items he hasn't seen before and whip them out as needed.<br /><br />I have NEVER regretted the extra planning, stress, time, money is takes to travel with our children. The memories made are priceless and I wouldn't trade them for anything! Can't wait to see pictures : )Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09652850794019022495noreply@blogger.com
