Quaker
Growing up, my dad would play Quaker with us when we went on long car rides. It went something like this:
Dad: Hey let's play Quaker. This is how you play, we all try to see who can go the longest without talking.
Us: Ok, that sounds fun
Dad: Ready, Set, Quaker
Silence............. {followed by us pinching each other trying to get the others to talk =0).}
Today I introduced this game to my girls. It worked like magic. Gwen even played along, and we had a nearly silent ride home from our meal. Afterwards, Liv told me how fun it was to play Quaker, and I agreed =0).

I had never heard of it called this until I met Drew and he played it with our girls, I thought he made up the name (guess not!)...we always called it "the quiet game."
Gotta LOVE Quaker! My kids actually like it, too. Bless those Quakers for bringing us moms a moments peace! BTW-your girls are so amazingly beautiful! I can't wait to see them.
My kids LOVE quaker! Abbie begs to play it.
