Scrooge game
The annual scrooge game. Always great fun. Everyone brings a gift. We each pick a number out of a hat. Number one goes first, that person picks a gift, opens it and shows it to everyone. Number two person can pick a new gift or take the first person gift. This game can go on for ages as we all take someone elses gift, which means they can then take someone elses gift... and so it goes. It doesn't work with children or folk that can't stand losing their favorite gift. If you get the gift three times during the game, thenit becomes yours for good ... no-one else can take if from you. Working as a team (couple) helps to get the favorite gift of your choice before the game ends.

JurasicPark
Before getting on this ride, we bought a DOLLAR water poncho.. no way were we going on the ride with-out one... The three of us are in the second seat back... Dennis on the left, me Head down in the middle, Jenny on the right. It was a great ride... would be ok without poncho in the summer time.
