He has the most amazing ideas! He's just so creative. We all get so excited when family home evening comes around and dad is in charge of the games! We know that it won't be some board game or hide and go seek, not that there's anything wrong with those, that's what I think of. No, daddy figures out some crazy fun thing that we have to do and he puts so much work into it! Since we've come to Japan we have been trying to be better about having Family Home Evening every week. We have been doing pretty good, I don't think we've missed a week! We have it split into four sections, lesson, games, snack and conducting, since there are four of us. So, Juanpablo has only had games twice. I'm gonna post pictures of those 2 times so you can see. One day a couple of months ago I asked Sam what he would want to do if he could do anything in the world, he could win all the toys he's ever wanted, go to space on a rocket ship, anything. Without even pausing for a minute he said that he would want to be on American Gladiators! I was a bit surprised by that, since he could have anything in the world. But that's just Sam. Well, the first time that Juanpablo had games for family home evening he, all by himself because he wouldn't even tell me what he was doing, set up American Gladiators in our apartment! We have a door that shuts off the living room from the bedrooms so he shut the door and wouldn't let any of us in while he set up. This is what we did....
Sam got to do most of what they do on the show, at least a home version of what they do on the show and some stuff that they don't. He started out having to go through a maze under the table then had to run as fast as he could through a tunnel. He had to throw balls into the laundry basket while avoiding being hit by balls that the gladiator(dad) was throwing at him.
He had to force his way through 2 big gladiators to get to his next challenge.
He had to do the joust with a gladiator (that would be me) and then battle the 2 gladiators again and finally break through the final barrier, like they do on the show, but not into a pool!
Even Bella got to do it, though she was a more careful about it than Sam!
We had so much fun! And when it was done Sam was so excited he wanted to do it again. After doing some of it again he told me, "Daddy made my dream come true!" It was so cool!
Then this past week he had games again. Again he didn't let me in on the secret of what he had planned. Some of Sams toys (batman, spiderman and superman) were kidnapped!
And we had to follow the clues to find them. It was fun.
Juanpablo made up all the clues and hid them all over the house.
Sam would get more and more excited every time that he found a new clue.
We had to get some help from daddy on some of the clues because we couldn't figure them out, but we had so much fun! And of course we rescued the superheros!
Bella had fun running around with us and trying to help. It was so cute!
It was just a really creative and fun game. I can't wait to see what he will come up with the next time he has games! I'm sure it will be amazing!
