Jennifer Lopez's upcoming summer (12) tour will be a family affair - she's taking her twins with her on the road.

The singer has decided to take four-year-old children Max and Emme along on her MEGA 2012 Tour, which will be a joint trek with Enrique Iglesias.

She says, "I don't know how that's all going to work. This is my first time. I'm going to see... They'll get on the bus with me and it'll be a learning experience for both of us. (I will) feel that out as I go... I can't be away from them for too long, so they'll be with me most of the time."

But the On The Floor hitmaker admits she has a back-up plan if her kids become restless, adding, "Luckily, there's always Grandma's house if they get really tired and stir-crazy. They can go with their grandma for a few days and then come back."

Lopez and Iglesias will kick off their tour in Montreal, Canada on 14 July (12) and perform across North America, including stops in Washington, D.C., Los Angeles and Miami, Florida.
