Family Game Night

Family fun night is something my kids always enjoy. We try to do something together each week: play a board game, watch a movie, play video games, go on hikes, ride bikes etc. In the winter months we usually play video games and watch movies; however, I have a tendency to want more interaction than that. Sitting in a room with my family while staring at the TV, does not qualify as good-quality family time in my opinion. Last Thursday, we decided it was time to change things up and opted to play a board game. The game of choice was Herd Your Horses: a game that can be played three different ways and provides various facts about each kind of horse on the back of the cards.

The game was fun, but Ava got bored about half-way through. The cards were more interesting to her than the game. Drake ended up winning, Steve came in second, and well, who does that leave in last? :-( What is most important was that we were all able to spend time together being silly and having fun.

Another fun game that we bought recently is Bananagrams. It's kind of like scrabble but without the board. It's a great learning game too!
