Happy New Year, Down Home readers! How unbelievable is it that it’s 2016 already?
This first day of 2016 happens to be a Friday, and usually Fridays here at Down Home are a day we devote to sharing ideas to help you connect with family, friends, and neighbors, free of devices and social media. This is what “Free Friday” means, and we do heartily encourage you to set aside some period of time each week (often weekends work well), to forego technology and do some old fashioned interacting.
Here’s a playful and interesting family activity you could try – gather and try out a few brain teasers together. The following blog post from What Do We Do All Day? has several intriguing suggestions:
Fun and Amazing Brain Teasers for Family Gatherings
It sure seems like our SLOCA kids could really get into this… if you give any of these a try, will you please comment and let us know your favorites?
Here's one more way to ring in the New Year with your family: join us at the Drive-In tomorrow night for our latest 10-Year Family Celebration event! SLOCA families will be meeting at the Sunset Drive-In on Saturday, January 2nd:
1st movie – Star Wars starting @ 7:05 pm
2nd movie (if you want to stay late) – The Good Dinosaur starting @ 9:40 pm
Remember to wear SLOCA gear, and we hope to see you there!
