Going on vacation with kids is fun BUT hectic. Our kiddos are so used to their routines that it can really throw them for a loop when all of a sudden everything is different. Cue the whining and meltdowns. Cue us, the parents, wondering if all this fun was really worth it. Giving your kids a blue print of what the vacation will be like and look like goes such a long way in helping the whole family feel calm and prepared for what's to come. It lets their little nervous systems get ready to adapt to changes and puts them in a calmer state so they can more easily access all the fun parts of vacation. Doesn't that sound good??

Just download our customizable template, add photos from your photo album, and edit the text to include details relevant to your kiddos routine. No time to customize?? We got you! Use our story with stock photos, it's included in your download!

Pro tip when customizing: don't be too precious about it! Your kid won't care if you repeat the same photo. They just want to understand what's going on. They want to know that they're safe and secure and that you'll be there with them on this hotel adventure. Also, we know you're limited on time and trying to get in all your last minute packing, so we made adding text a no brainer! The parenthesis indicate a section where you need to add personal information, such as the name of your child. The underlined sections include information that you may want to leave, change, or delete depending on your kiddos routine. 

After you've added photos and text you're ready to share the story with your kid.  How you share it is up to you and what works best for your family. You can print and share a hard copy or leave it digital, easy peasy! Now get going we don't want you to miss one second of precious beach/pool time!

Still wondering what it should look like?? We got you! Take a look at our sample book for inspo! It's the OG story that I used with my daughter AND it's included in your download!
