Today the day my two best friends go to Florida with me and my boys. We started planning this trip back in November. To help Luke and Adam grasp the concept of saving for the trip I made a large poster board of how much money we would need. On the poster board I had what would everything would cost. I also had a large Sunny D jug were every time we would find money laying around the house we would put it in. Once a month we would count the money and mark off the board what we had saved.
Doing this helped with the I want this and I want that. At first when the boys would say they wanted a new Wii or DS game I would ask them what is more important, the game or going to Florida. Sometimes I would tell them if i get this that means less money for Florida. They caught on to the whole saving money. They would start saying I wish I could have something but we need to save our money for Florida.
So now the adventure begins to today. Three adults and four boys in a car for 17+ hrs. What where we thinking?!?!
