I have said before that I loves me a board game with the family. I'm stuck in a point now, though, where I want to play the same game with both my boy (age almost-8) and girl (age 4). There is a gap right now between the little kid and big kid games.
The girl can hold cards now, which has allowed us to play the Princess Card Games (includes Old Maid, Crazy 8s and Go Fish), the boy likes to play this as well (even though there are boring princesses involved.). We are also able to muddle through Sorry, but the game proves challenging to the 4-year-old attention span.
Anyone else have an idea for a developmentally-spanning game? That won't bore me to tears?

Bumper Bowling in Chi-town
Took the boy to the Bowling alley again, just us two (boys afternoon out) and wanted to say how nice (again) the Mont Clare Bowling Alley is. The bumpers are easy to request and setup, they don't make you feel bad about using them at all. I have to say it is great for a kid who is learning to bowl, really keeps up their interest. I have fond memories of riding a school bus (during the day!) to the local lanes in the MIDDLE OF THE SCHOOL DAY. Who does that anymore? Certainly not with No Child Left Behind testing requirements.
