One day Max had come home after visiting a garage sale and he surprised the boys with a couple of kids games. They boys were so excited about their new games and we decided to have a little game night with them. The games included Don't Break the Ice, Ants in your Pants, Don't Spill the Beans and Operation. We played them all for our family night. Charlie was so into it and Miles liked the idea of it but was a little rough and wild. I couldn't wait to watch them try Operation. Just pulling it out of the box made me feel the same anxiety I did when I played it years ago. We didn't even tell the boys what was going to happen before they started playing so it was fun to see their reactions. Mostly they just laughed, but eventually Charlie started saying "I'm never playing this game again!" Only to go 2 minutes, then beg for a turn. Anyway, it was a good time and I think Max and I got sick of it first and had to put it away!
Great finds! We have been adding to our family game collection as well. It's fun to play (and sometimes obnoxious. haha)
ReplyDeleteThe girls just had their first experience with Operation last month. I'm not a fan of the game but the girls loved it. We also tried Scrabble JR for the first time and I loved it. I'm searching all the thrift stores to find it now.
