I couldn't believe how boring I found Candy Land once I grew up, but I still made sure I played it with both of my kids with the enthusiasm of a little kid as it deserved.

I love the interaction I have with my kids when we sit down and play a game together. I also appreciate how nice it is for them to have video games to keep them occupied and happy as long as they don't make a steady diet of them.

Board games were always for rainy days and we preferred as children to play outside. It wasn't until I got older and could play Monopoly, PayDay and Life that I really took to board games. <br /><br />Glad you could share your love of Candy Land with your daughter!!<br /><br />Cheers, Jenn.Jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07559573562599754752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-47494678090485102312012-05-16T22:48:28.528-04:002012-05-16T22:48:28.528-04:00Did you know that Adam Sandler is making a Candy L...Did you know that Adam Sandler is making a Candy Land movie????Sharon Greenthalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06341769570752679625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-91351779899198606322012-05-16T22:42:41.761-04:002012-05-16T22:42:41.761-04:00funny I remember chutes and ladders but not candy ...funny I remember chutes and ladders but not candy land, and I'm ashamed to say I don't think my kids owned either.

Now all the adults and the kids will get together for holidays and out come the games. I love Pictionary (we have the old one with a giant dry erase board) and in no time, everyone is playing and laughing and yelling. I feel sad that the younger kids have the video games out often and they play by themselves..Sad to me..but when the "old fashioned" games do make their appearances, the kids are right in the mix.Winniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15926597921523807422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5303475796807404950.post-83833954077653283922012-05-16T22:24:48.081-04:002012-05-16T22:24:48.081-04:00Love both of these games and I still have mine...s...Love both of these games and I still have mine...somewhere.
