Day 3 of the Staycation...much fun last year, so we thought we'd try it again. So far so good. The way it works is this. I write a riddle in the morning to share what we're doing with the kids. A couple of hours of yard work gets done 'til 10am (everybody's motivated because of the afternoon activities). We come in...clean up...gather in the living room and hear the reading of the riddle. Each riddle is read by one child per day starting with the oldest. Then we head out for a thrifty... but fun afternoon. The day ends around 10pm and we get to bed, get up and do it again. The guessing has proven to be a bit of a challenge for our crew, so I thought I'd share Monday's riddle and answer. Tomorrow I'll do the same:
I’ve an idea why don’t we go
To a place that’s full of Indigo
An escapade to far off lands
Adventures for this nutty band
Alpha shows the butterflies
Omega holds the big surprise
And then we’ll all be eatin’ out
Ain’t Friday but still good no doubt
To kick the break off with a bang
First day was fun but ain’t no thang
‘Cause so much more is still ahead
So much happiness to spread
Answer:
McWane Center
TGI Friday's
Dollar Movie (Inkheart)
