You can substitute Sunshine for both K and H in that conversation and add 10 other repetitive phrases.<br /><br />Do you listen to Adventures in Odyssey? Or Jonathon Park? I'm thinking the latter would be rather too contrived for your set. We also enjoy Your Story Hour. I'd be interested to know which bust books you brought along. The worst author-read series is Magic Treehouse (not that it's stellar as a book either). It makes me want to rip my hair out. But it beats having to read her poorly constructed sentences myself.<br /><br />And as for state parks, Wisconsin has the very best! ;) And don't try to camp in Massachusetts. They were so DIRTY! Blech. I would have gone for the $20 multi-use and then stopped to use the bathroom at every single one! LOL<br /><br />sounds like a fun trip!<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Sandwich <br />(ps when is that camping trip to WI?

This has been so, so, so helpful to us on long trips. (The Harry Potter books I was able to download for our trip to Philadelphia this summer were especially great.) The upside of this is that I can download up to 10 books to one player (the downside being it is kind of a pain in the neck to remove them from my Zune, but I'm told it's less so if you can use iTunes effectively and put them on an Apple device. (I have a long running frustration with iTunes and cannot use it effectively.) The other downside is that you further need an audio input jack into your radio to plug the iPod, Zune or other mp3 player into your car audio system. <br /><br />I do find that authors, generally, should not read their own books for the audio version. The only exception I've ever found is Stephen King's author read Bag of Bones, which is, of course, highly unsuitable for family listening. :-) LawMommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17772740759391002766noreply@blogger.com
