A Day in Vermont

Today we took a little trip up to Springfield, VT to see some friends of ours.  Vermont is a really lovely state.  It is all the better for having our friends in it.  We drove up around lunchtime and stayed for the afternoon.  The children all got to play together and the grownups got to do some talking.  We played several hands of Uno with some of the children, Juno being one of them.  The children also played with dominoes a little bit making some domino lines and knocking them down.  

I had brought a tote bag of games which I generally lug everywhere in case we decide to play one while we are out.  My bag of games contains the book Family Math which I got from a used book store at some point, a container filled with every sort of dice you could imagine, a book of math dice games, a deck of playing cards, two decks of Uno cards, and a bag of dominoes, plus Bananagrams and who knows what else. 


I would like to play games with the children a lot more often.  I think I will make a resolution to play a game every day for a week and see how that works out for us.  I am sure the children will approve, so stay tuned.  


Catch you on the flip side.
