Back by popular demand this summer - Bingo! with G&G. Grandma started it with the kids last summer on our visit and they brought it back for this visit by special request from the kids, who loved it. They each get a personalized Bingo sheet, each square holds some sort of activity for them to accomplish during the visit. Walking with Grandpa, picking up sticks in Mike's yard, calling Dad, and making a craft are just some of the items on the list.
This year's Bingo had a twist. G&G had hidden a special "capsule" for each grand kid somewhere in the yard, a little Geocaching if you will. For every 5 stars the kids got on their Bingo cards, they received a clue as to the whereabouts of their Geocache. The kids were hooked! 2 of the 3 got a clue at bedtime one night and insisted Grandpa give them the clue so they could go out right then and look for their prize. Miss Leah's was hidden deep in the old fig tree in the back yard.
One of the kids activities was to pick up sticks in Mike's yard, for which he handsomely rewarded them Some worked a little harder than others...
Some people supervised...
Some people spent their time playing with the traffic reflector...
Mike is an original. How many people do you know who have skulls on their meter boxes?
Break time!
