I Need Some Backyard Games

I last minute (as usual) decided to invite friends over for our Leap Day Party!!!  I am planning on cupcakes and games.  Does anyone have any suggestions for good kid backyard games?  Give me some ideas here.

Dinosaur Tracks

We visited Joey's family in Saint George, Utah. The city of Saint George is in a very dry desert with red rocks, black volcanic rocks and sand dunes. On Saturday at the museum we learned that approximately 195 million years ago it was a lush area with a large lake.

The museum is located on the discover site of hundreds of dinosaur tracks, swim tracks, tail tracks, fish fossils, etc. They are still in the process of building the museum, but half of it is opened and was fun and interesting. It will be fun to go back again when it is completed. Their dinotrax website has great pictures and information.

Fun Friday

Today was kind of a worksheet day. On days that I must do things around the house (today I am packing for our weekend trip to Saint George) I look on the internet and print off some fun things for them to do. I went to SuperKids.com and made a word search for them consisting of their names, the cats names, etc. Luke liked this What Number Am I crossword and Isabel and I did this Onomatopoeia one together. Isabel drew a picture for great-grandma Kay and Luke wrote and drew all about his Kids league characters that he has made stories out of. It is fun for me to imagine how delighted (and very confused) she will be when she reads it.  Isabel took a math test and Luke is learning how to tell time.
