Dead Animal Game

While on our trip across the nation this past summer we reached many desolate places. After the children got tired of playing video games or watching movies they decided to stare out onto the road. Since there weren't many cars on the road we couldn't play any of those "fun" car trip games like spot the different states or color cars. I started to notice that there were quite a number of road kill that we did spot so I decided to make it into a game, The Dead Animal Game. Now the basic rules are whoever calls the dead animal first wins. It has to bigger than a bug and my car cannot be the one to have killed it. I know some of you are just thinking how cruel can this mommy be but it is the only game that my kids still are interested in playing. 
I have all girls so I really don't understand how these girls actually tolerate this game, but they like it so I'm not complaining. I kept winning cause while they would look for rodents and birds I was seeing the huge deer I kept having to swerve around.
