Taking Turns



Our children are now grown, but our system of 'taking turns' made our many family vacations so delightful. We soon found out after arriving at Disney or a theme park or vacationing in general, that we all had different ideas of what activities or rides were the most fun for each individual. We devised a system where we all could enjoy what we wanted. We divided the day (or days) into sections, and each person had an assigned time where they could choose the activities they most wanted. There were 4 of us, so for a quarter of the day, each person got to do their favorite things. It saved a lot of arguments, and no one complained when doing something they might not choose for themselves because they knew that they would have their own opportunity to enjoy their favorites eventually. If there was ever a problem on who would go first, we would either draw straws, flip a coin, or think of a number between 1 and 10.
