My wife Kay, the youngest of eight siblings, took our 2-year-old son and me on the chartered bus from Salt Lake City to Anaheim. Being a musical, outgoing young woman, she led the children in fun songs during the long bus ride. Our delightful driver was impressed. Aging cousins still gather and talk about that big family trip!

Intentional Vacation
The Hinckley cousins’ trip to Disneyland was deliberately planned as an adventure the young kids would never forget. Very intentional parenting, as we call it today. The trip was consciously funded by a family collating project, which included young people ( I won’t say “child labor”) working many nights for a generous publishing company. Some work was done in the barn at Grandpa’s farm — how fun! All of us workers were highly motivated by the intended vacation as our reward. In the process, family togetherness was an immediate blessing.
