This week on facebook a friend of mine posted photos from a family reunion. They played croquet with bowling balls and supersize wickets and mallets! They had a large size Jenga (not as large as here), and also a large game of (oh there goes my memory again).– well, the games with the marbles held up by a bunch of thin sticks in a plastic container and you pull out the sticks until the marbles all let go??? (Work with me here–I have no idea what it’s called!!!) Anyway, that family had their fun on!

So far in the middle of this drought and heat wave we’ve had to keep everyone inside so noone gets sick but, I do still plan to try it!

Sounds pretty fascinating, Libby. Now I just have to learn how to play Dutch Blitz!

My brother in law works for a sign company and they printed the cards in a large size. The kids were divided into teams and had a great time running and throwing cards onto the piles; it felt like a real blitz!

I don’t have a backyard myself but, I work in a group home for people with mental disabilities and that would be so much fun for a few of them, not to mention staff! I know a few of the individuals who would crack up watching us play. I’m so going to bring this idea to work. Thanks for sharing!
