Boredom Buster: Hunt for lost treasures!

It is only the beginning of July and I am already hearing "Mom, I'm Bored!". Well the temperature is in the mid 90's, and its a beautiful day today. Lets go out and take advantage of this wonderful Sunday weather. It’s perfect for games that have been hidden away in storage.  I think its time to go on a treasure hunt!  After a short mission, we found a croquet set (We bought for a birthday party game about 2 years ago) in the garage.
A lot of us go out and buy things for special occasions, then they collect dust in the garage, basement or attic.  These are free activities that we can utilize in an era where money is tight.  I call these our “lost treasures” because, they are just waiting for us to pick them up again.  Why not use them and have fun with our kids!  We are the only ones allowed to choose for ourselves what we do with our time. 
Our Choice:  Time to go set up a game with the kids, and make a quick snack for a nice afternoon!  Good luck finding your lost treasures, let me know what loot you find!
