I remember traveling all day to Denver from Wichita with my younger sister, parents, and myself is a carload. We about 9 and 7 years old ... and we would take a break every 3 hours or so - and when you're little, you get cranky and wild. So, we would pull out skip-its and skip in the parking lots! or run around! or even play a little game (4-square or even hopscotch)! Once we played tag, using anything as bases. My mother and father sometimes brought us to an empty lot and let us run for 10 minutes, and then we were out for 5 hours.
