Jenga=Dangerous

Every night of the week in our house has a theme.* It started with the easy FHE on Monday and movie night on Friday, but has since evolved into many nights (ok 7 to be exact) of family together fun. Saturday night is game night. Each week brings a chance to try our hands and minds at a new game. We even have tried playing RISK with the kids. Fernando and Tiago against Mia and me. We passed on world domination and played the more succinct "Mission" version. I actually prefer it to the world domination since it's more suspenseful that way. This last Saturday we introduced Jenga. Some of you might remember the game. It's quite simple. Stack the blocks up and pull out one at a time until it falls. Fernando kept the interest high when he made one simple comment while I was taking my turn. . ."Dangerous". That sealed the deal. Each turn brought more dangerous moves. Everyone had their own technique. Fernando and Mia took the careful poking to find the loose block. I tried to see which block would bring a downfall upon the next person's move. Tiago did this bait and switch type grab that never failed. Enjoy the little clip.
