An oldy but a goody

Sometimes the best fun is had when you are not looking at a computer screen, playing any Wii game, or have any electronic games in front of you. This holiday we got to spend some quality family time playing repeated times "The Game of LIFE." Remember this from your childhood? We've got an old 1960's version where if you become a doctor you earn a whopping salary of $20,ooo per pay period!

So, Zenna has decided this is her favorite game! She gets a huge kick out of all the life events you go through and loves to play the stock market when she lands on Lucky Day spaces - she always bets big on these!

Last time we played she decided to give it a 2009 twist, and started out as a boy in her car. Then when it was time to get married, she chose a "partner" and decided to be a gay couple (not that there's anything wrong with that - and yes, she actually said this as she added the boy to her car, because she listens too closely to her parents joking around!).

Anyway, it's lots of fun, and great to just spend time sitting on the floor playing an good old fashioned board game. Who knows, next we might do something crazy like stay home for dinner!
