If your family was wealthily & able to upgrade from Atari to Intellivision (1979) you were the talk of the town. You also lived in the home that all the kids wanted to play @ after school! I only had Atari and I turned out okay. Boy times have changed. Now, 10 y/o children have expensive smart phones and 2-3 y/o children are glued to their Mom's smart phones in the shopping cart, waiting rooms, etc.! Sadly enough, many of them probably can teach me some tricks about the phone that I'm not aware of!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-28568747466090641472014-09-03T15:25:14.841-04:002014-09-03T15:25:14.841-04:00Try Honolua Bay for snorkeling - one of the best o...Try Honolua Bay for snorkeling - one of the best on Maui and not too far beyond Black Rock - a little past Kapalua.

Had pre trip planning with maps and destinations for their review, individualzed box of games and goodies, grab bag to open goofy (dollar store-ish) related gifts at state , park, or other borders or special crossings, sing alongs (new to them), crafty projects, tag and road search items (prizes for daily winner) and other voucher, plus BIG plastic buckets (with sealable lids) for any road trip "items" like bugs and stuff.... Worked for over two weeks. Of course returning home,both teleported into house and hooked up to electronics within minutes, er seconds.... worth it? you bet!

Play Minecraft. <br /><br />We didn't have any centipedes visit (and my, isn't that a creepy specimen!), but we did have a small, resident gecko in the kitchen that was immediately dubbed "Gordon." <br /><br />Pineapple beer?

It was to the point where I couldn't stand going in there. The ones in Hawaii are even creepier looking! *shudders*<br /><br />Hawaiian food sounds interesting. Have you tried the banana ketchup? I was curious as to how it tastes. The nuts Mrs. Grumpy likes do not sound appetizing.Shellyehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963983688760711878noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5883634615775822475.post-17165467773199395832014-09-03T10:37:10.879-04:002014-09-03T10:37:10.879-04:00Don't keep us in suspense.
