Whenever we go on a family vacation, I end up throwing our first aid items in either zip top bags or a small bucket.  Since we leave next week, organizing and updating the first aid items was on my to do list.  I decided to make a "med kit".  This is what we used when I was in high school drill team.  We used it when we traveled and performed off campus.  Come to think of it, the med kit was used daily.  When you have that many teenage girls in one location, someone is always in need of something. :) I purchased a small fishing tackle box at Wal-Mart.  I think I paid around $8.  Then I went through our first-aid items in the house and began to load it.  Below are the items included in our med kit (you may need a few different items for your family).
