Simple Summer Fun

While on vacation, we've been enjoying playing board games at night.  Some friends came to visit and introduced us to Bananagrams.  It has quickly become a new family favorite. It is very similar to Scrabble, but without a game board and it moves along quickly.  It's a great after dinner game and my 6 year old has even been using the letter tiles to work on her spelling during the day.  But, I couldn't resist sharing these pictures of our second favorite game this summer-good old fashioned checkers.
We discovered this homemade checkerboard painted on
 the outdoor picnic table and it has kept us busy.
  
So simple and charming.

  2. My daughter and I like to play Banangrams. Haven't had it out for awhile-may have to change that! :)

    That checkerboard idea is so, so neat!

  3. Oh what a fun idea. I think we need to make one of these for our grandsons to use.
