This last Friday Night was one of those nights we did not have a plan. We all talked about what we wanted to do for Family Night at the dinner table. It was decided upon to take a nice long walk to Golden Spoon for some frozen yogurt. The boys all got in their jammies and we headed out in the dark with our flashlights. So maybe you can say it was a modified Pajama Run.
The walk itself from our house to Golden spoon is about 2 miles. On the way we played a version of Geography. Instead of naming places we named foods. So someone would start by saying a food like "banana's" the next person has to name a food that starts with "s" which is the last letter of bananas and continue. This is a good way to distract your kids from the long walk.
We enjoyed some frozen yogurt together and then walked the 2 miles back home. This time we played the same game, but had to name different animals.
So if you ever get to Family Night without an idea. Put on your walking shoes and grab some flashlights and take a walk together. Fresh air and exercise is always good for the whole family and you'll see how quickly everyones mood changes because of it.
