Recently the entire country lost electricity for over 12 hours. It was hot. We couldn't open the refrigerator, because all the cold air would go out and the food would spoil. So there wasn't much to eat that was very appetizing.
Just as our mom was wondering what we would do to get a little exercise, she walked into the living room and found this...
The kids had created an obstacle course out of a couple of spare mattresses and furniture and were timing each other to see who could complete it the fastest. They were sweaty and happy certainly getting plenty of exercise!
Later we stretched a net across the dining room table and played ping pong!
Have you ever heard the expression "Necessity is the mother of invention"? It's funny how the toughest challenges can sometimes become the happiest memories. We will remember this hot, hungry day as a very happy one!

Losing power?? Sounds like home to me! We all just enjoyed a day or three without power. CP did not lower its power and thus school was in session. So glad you have creative children! Kisses to all!
ReplyDeleteI suspect the creative dad had something to do with the cool ping pong rig having witnessed numerous games and pieces of what be deemed junk turned into riding machines!
ReplyDeleteWow. I hope you guys get good at Ping Pong so we can play when we see you next.
