GAMES

In response to your question sister, I do remember all the games we played growing up.  I have to admit I always loved a video game and remember the generic handheld early versions.  There was a pinball game and one with a steering wheel where the cars had to go from one lane to another.  I also loved going to the gas station with Dad and playing the real pinball machine!  Definitely a highlight.

The board game Life was a favorite of mine.  You had to get the family and you would put the little pegs in the cars (blue for boy and pink for girl).  Monopoly was another big one.  LOVED playing with the money.  I took it so seriously.  Then video games evolved into Atari and then the arcade at the mall --- Pac Man, Donkey Kong, Frogger.  

Fast forward and we now play Wii, XBox 360 and the kids got Kinect for Christmas (that is alot of fun).  I have become addicted to some iPad games such as Skee-Ball, Angry Birds and most recently Words with Friends.  As a family, we play Sorry, Zingo, Stratego is big and sometimes even Chess.

Fun trip down memory lane.
