Late Night Family Night

Getting ready to start the game!

Tonight after dinner the boys were begging to play the new game I brought home from the thrift store.  We gave in, even though it was very close to bedtime, and it was actually a fun game.  

The game is called State the Facts, by Get Ahead Games, 1993, and it is a geography game with trivia about the fifty states and the different regions of the US.  Some of the questions were ones we didn't know, so we had to make educated guesses, but that made it fun and we learned a little in the process.  Ethan enjoyed it a lot, as he loves anything dealing with the fifty states right now, and because we have been studying them this year for 2nd grade, it's a bonus educational lesson as well!

Everett and Elliot got a little tired of the game (it was a trivia game and they had to be on my team or Derrick's team) so they decided to break off and make a snack and then play in a big box in the living room until the game was over.  That was much more fun of course!

PB and J for snack time!

Elliot instructed Everett step by step during the sandwich making process.

It is amazing how much fun an over-sized box can provide!
