Family Fun

We are in the middle of some trying economic times, finding inexpensive recreation for a family can be challenging.  I thought I'd share some cheap entertainment that I came across recently.  Here's what you do... 

First-  Find a picture that makes you smile.  It really doesn't matter what kind of picture it is, the important part is your initial response to the picture.  When you see it the first time, if your face cracks into an unexpected grin, you have yourself a winner. 

Take this picture for example: I thought it was hilarious.  That makes it a good candidate for this activity.

Second- Show your chosen picture to your kids. 

Third- Listen carefully as your children describe what they see.  

Here's what my kids had to say about huge guy:

     Aubrey- "Mom, why are his arms so squiggly?"

     Ethan- "Hey Dad!  I guess you're not the strongest man in the world after all!"

     Conner- "His arms are like big chunks of meat."

And my favorite:

     Ethan- "His arms look like pigs!"

 Family fun on the cheap!
