We were given two LeapPad3s and other compensation. All opinions are our own. I never tell my kids where they are going.\u00a0 It isn\u2019t that we are just that adventurous, but I am terribly allergic to nagging, so I avoid it as much as I can.\u00a0 The wonderful folks at LeapFrog and Beaches Resorts sent us two LeapPad3s for an upcoming trip to the Social Media in the Sand Conference in Turks and Caicos.\u00a0 The kids had no idea they were going, so I got to pack whatever I wanted \u2013 and to leave out whatever I wanted. I purposely packed no mp3 players, no DVD players, no toys, no books, no digital cameras (not the kids\u2019 cameras anyway), no game systems\u2026 nothing.\u00a0 I snuck their suitcases out of their rooms, packed only what would fit in them, and put them in the trunk of the car while they slept.\u00a0 On top of the suitcases I set two gift wrapped boxes with notes for each of the kids from LeapFrog and Beaches Resorts.    To see the surprise, check out the video here: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=ezkwbO__GBI I am allergic to nagging on planes and in airports especially, so I took quite a risk by leaving all of the kids\u2019 devices at home and trusting that this one would be enough to keep them occupied.\u00a0 I hadn\u2019t considered how I was going to charge them, if they came with chargers, if they came with games, none of that.\u00a0 I just went for it. After the \u201cunboxing\u201d (translated \u2013 squealing, ripping off paper, etc.) that took place in the airport parking deck, the kids and the LeapPads were inseparable. Going through security, they felt really grown up when they put them in bins to be scanned just like we did with our laptops and tablets. They charged them up at the gate after we went through security using the built in rechargeable battery and the AC adapter that came with it.\u00a0 After Dad created his LeapFrog account, and set up their Wi-Fi and parental controls, they immediately started taking selfies to use for their \u201cprofile pictures.\u201d Watch the review here: http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RFlpgJetba0 Once on the plane and settled in, the LeapPad3s came out.\u00a0 Luckily, they come with several built in games, so the kids stayed occupied from takeoff to landing.\u00a0 I caught my middle child, who hates multiplication, doing math drills in between selfies \u201cEnhanced\u201d using Photo Fun.\u00a0 For hours, they were adding, subtracting, multiplying, dividing, and reading, all while bobbing their heads to music, making videos, taking selfies, and taking care of their virtual pets. I never asked them if they needed help, and they never asked for it.\u00a0 They were able to figure out how to use everything on their own."}
