Hopscotch and Smoothies...

I think that I am the only person in America that did not learn to play Hopscotch as a kid. Well, I wasn't going to let my children have the same fate, so learning how to play Hopscotch was on our "summer fun list". I found the rules in an old-fashioned game book, we got some chalk and went at it...


I had no idea that so much throwing was involved, I just thought that it was all hopping. Oh no, you must first land your marker in a specific box before the hopping begins. It is a LONG game when you have four players with no aiming skills! We also chose a super hot day to do it, next time, we'll play when it's a bit cooler. But it was definitely fun and I'm glad that we tried it...


Since we were hot anyway, it was a good excuse to try out a couple new smoothie recipes...

Lots of helpers = lots of messes. But it's all part of the fun, right? I'm pretty sure that this was right before the whole thing exploded everywhere...

Yum!! Healthy and delicious...
