Been there. Done that.
And it sucks. We try to avoid connecting flights simply because it reduces the possiblities for delays or getting stuck on the ground. Over pack snacks, games, movies....exactly for this scenario. And when the kids are getting antsy and you've walked the aisles 14 times, don't be afraid to ask to see the cockpit -- especially if the door is open. Even in this post 9/11 world, most pilots will let young kids check out the flight deck while at the gate.

Thankfully we weren't delayed on that tarmac for that long, but the 45 min with the then 2 year old was enough. Thanks for the tips if we fly again I will be sure to use them.
