2. How many bathroom breaks were there along the way?

3. There were 20 hard-boiled eggs. Kacin (and Eric) dyed 7 eggs and Laura decorated 4 eggs. How many eggs did Kyler decorate?

4. Math Facts in the car . . .

Eric: "What is 4 + 2?"
Kyler and Kacin: (after counting on fingers) "6!"
Eric: "What is 1 + 0?"
Kyler: 10
Kacin: 2
Laura: "Hmm. If you have 1 piece of gum and then someone gives you zero pieces, or no gum, how much gum do you have?"
Kacin: "Gum??"
Kyler: 1!! :)
Eric: "Good. What is 6 + 2?"
Kacin: "I would like some gum."
