Most days I love having 4 kids, it's what I always wanted- hubby wanted to stop at two. I am in the local twins club and we do have some triplet families who have days where everything is absolute chaos and others that are smooth sailing -which we all have regardless of how many children we have; we learn to cope with what we have. Soo looking forward to next years trip, I know it will not be all smooth sailing but love watching my kids learning thing it's is going to be a fantastic experience for all and hopefully great for some family bonding.

@The Goodwins Yes those old Cooper S are very very nice. I like to update the mini so I can do school run and we do not have to swap the car. 4 kids do not fit in the mini cooper I have unless I use boot.. I did think maybe spend extra get a new tug as the V6 Petrol Disco not the cheapest to run. Although we done 17 and 19's on two trips.. I see people get 15-16's using Diesel.. so not much difference for $15k-$20k changeover
