[QUOTE="anxiety25, post: 6412, member: 3244"] Thank you all [img]:laugh:[/img] I was thinking of bringing a survival kit of some sort (i.e. coloring books, workbooks, flash cards, games like connect four, etc.) and we have planned to string popcorn and dried fruit for a while to allow my mother cooking time, lol.
