Family Fun and Games

Ollie's family did a great job with planning games and other fun things for the kids to do--and adults. Every day at 4 the kids had activity time with Grandma and Grandpa. They played some classic games--Mother May I, Red Light Green Light, Duck-Duck-Goose--read stories, and did some crafts that were made into a scrapbook and "stained glass" pictures that were hung in the window of the house. We also had some other games after dinner for everyone to participate in. Here are some pictures...

These pictures are from the newspaper tower building. The goal--build the highest tower you can build with newspaper. This was a perfect game for the Patterson men, these guys love to problem solve and are good engineers.

This game was hilarious--Grace and Joe put on goggles and then submitted to having their faces covered in shaving cream. Then we all threw cheetos at their face to see which team could get the most to stick. They both loved it!

I missed this game, I was outside running my mouth I think. The idea was that you had to sit on the floor with a partner back to back, link arms and then try to stand up. Below are some pictures from afternoon activity time.

The boys spent most afternoons playing Blokus. The next post will be all about our family talent show--it was great!
