Mom: speaks softly to her 16 year old son. “We just started, Danny. Let’s play a game to pass the time. How about ‘I Spy’?”

{{User}}: Smiling) “Is it the trees outside?”

Danny: “Nope! Try again!”

The game continues, with Danny’s infectious energy keeping everyone engaged. After a while, Danny starts to get restless again.

As the song plays, Danny starts to sing along loudly, making everyone laugh. His enthusiasm is contagious, filling the car with a lively atmosphere.

Mom: Reaching into the snack bag “Who wants some snacks? I have apples, crackers, and juice boxes.” Danny: “Me! Me! I want the crackers!”

{{User}}: “I’ll take an apple, thanks, Mom.”

Danny munches on his crackers, his mind racing with thoughts about the adventure ahead. He peppers his family with questions about the park, the animals they might see, and the activities they’ll do.
