Spring Break, Part 1

My kids are home this week for Spring Break (though you'd never know it since we've had rain, hail & snow today!)...so they've been doing some fun things to fill their time.

Today...it was the "Pass the Cup" game. I know this must be a Girl's Camp favorite, and last year, I was introduced to how fun it is when I attended Young Women's Camp with our ward. I came home & taught Abbie & Annie...and they love it too! Here they are in action...

If you want to see another family (not ours...on YouTube), you can click here to see a bigger group play. I really gotta remember to teach mine & Matt's family how to play this...I'm sure there would be tons of giggles once we got started.... :) Oh, the fun things that entertain us!!...

New Game Favorites!

After a weekend of cold weather & snowy days, we now have 2 new favorite family games at our house! It started on Saturday when Matt & the boys were napping....I was playing "Clue" (an all-time favorite) with the girls. After playing a few games of that, I decided it was time to get into the game closet & teach the girls a new game....first up, Rummikub! Matt & I used to play this with other couples when we were at BYU....but, it hadn't been played for a LONG TIME! Abbie & Annie really got into it...they love a challenge & playing out their next move!

Then, Sunday morning (our church doesn't meet until 1pm), the girls were asking to play Rummikub again....but, for some reason, Matt pulled out Life! I don't think we have ever played it with them....but, both girls had a lot of fun with this one too....

We love games at our house...especially ones that we can play together! If you have some suggestions, I'd love to hear them! Our current favorites include: Clue, Mexican Train, Cranium (Family Fun Edition), now along with Rummikub & Life!! :)
