What to do on a hot 4th of July...

Our kids have been at grandma's for the week! It was a nice relaxing week for me and Rick.
You don't realize,though, how much time and energy kiddos require until they are gone for awhile.
You also don't realize how much fun and laughter they bring into a home.

The kids got home yesterday afternoon so, after dinner we spent an hour playing a family game of cherades. There was no store bought box. No little pieces to manage. We simply divided into teams and made up our own categories.
1st Round
1. Movie
2. Song
3. Book
4. Place
5. Sport

2nd Round
1. Candy
2. Cereal
3. Chips
4. Soda
5. Car

3rd Round
1. Fruit
2. Vegetable
3. Famous Person
4. State
5. ???

The most enjoyable ones to watch were Nicole and I acting out synchronized swimming and Michael and Tori doing their Michael Jackson moves!

If you are looking for something fun to do OUT OF THE HEAT that is CHEAP and brings family and friends together for lots of laughs...celebrate the 4th with a game of cherades!
