Some of us super wonderful ladies have brought up the very real fact that a lot of our kids (those Issac's age and under), have not had a ton of interaction together. So we tossed out the idea of some scheduled games or ice-breakers just to get the younger generation acclimated to each other, and simply to help them learn each others names. This is a FAMILY reunion, and we desperately want for all of us to spend time together and get to know each other so much better. But we also want to avoid 'over-scheduling' the weekend and wearing everyone out.
So what's the balance? How do we spend time together and get to know each other in all the age groups, and still be sure to allow for free time?
And not just the kids. As adults I know we can tend to turn the TV on, or find solace in the electronic world. I will speak for myself, as a Law lady, there is very much the tendency to 'zone-out' in front of the TV and get lost in an attempt to rest or escape for the chaos of it all! Any suggestions?
Do we want to aim for an Electronic Free weekend?
Set certain times only for TV, Gameboys, etc?
As parents you will have to determine what's good for your kids...we'd love some helpful ideas or thoughts!! Send them our way!!
Thanks.
