Card Sharks

I have such fond memories of playing cards with my brothers and cousins on vacation. We used to go to Acapulco with our extended family every Christmas, and we passed the time swimming, drinking virgin daiquiris and playing cards.

Fast forward to our family's recent trip to Turks and Caicos. During one particularly long lunch wait the girls were getting increasingly bored and the diversions I brought (coloring books & crayons, WikkiStix) had lost their luster. We played tic tac toe. I taught Liv how to play hangman. And then it occurred to me - playing cards! Old school entertainment. I went to the hotel gift shop and purchased a deck. Liv loved playing war and Mia joined during some rounds as well, as a player and sometimes judge. Cards became our go to game during dinner lulls when the kids would typically get impatient.

Playing cards is our new jam. Best associations, vibes and family fun. Highly recommend.
