Easter-Some Indoor Activities

In the previous post I showed some outdoor activities from my family's Easter gathering. In this post, I am sharing some indoor activities. It was a good time of fellowshipping, playing games, eating, and just enjoying being with one another.


The first three pictures show a dice game in which one scores either 0, 1, 2, 3, or 4 times the value of the number facing up on the die rolled depending on where the die lands.


Throwing with intent



Smiles and laughter



Reading time



Playing Rook

your family always looks so wholesome (or is that, like the bakery, holsum). What kind of position do you want me to write a reference for you to apply for?

Murf said...

Is fellowshipping an actual word? :-) I like your dad. It looks like he thoroughly enjoys these family get togethers.

The dice game looks like lots of fun, do you know the name of it?

dice game is called "Tumblin-Dice". good times...:-)

always good to see pics of the family Tim...being away in Michigan I enjoy being able to be "part" of the family get-togethers through your pictures although it generally just gets me a bit homesick!

Thanks, sage. God has blessed my extended family greatly. As for reference, I think my fiancée would be thrilled if I found a nature photography job. But since I mostly do plant life and landscapes and not too much other wildlife, I'm not sure what the possibilities are. Perhaps it is something I need to research sometime after the wedding.

Hi, murf. I think fellowshipping is an actual word. Even if it isn't, it comes up about 124,000 times on Google. And we all enjoy our family gatherings. :)

Thanks, ginnie. I love my extended family. :) And I'm glad you enjoy the pictures of my extended family.

Thanks, moi. I am most certainly blessed.

Thanks, minka. Family gatherings are important and fun times for us.

Thanks, judypatooote. As my brother Larry responded, the name of the game is "Tumblin-Dice" and the game can be purchased online at http://www.tumblin-dice.com/. Another of my brothers also wrote me that the full size version of this game seems to be only available at the above web site. A smaller version is available on Amazon.com.

Thanks, photowannabe. I'm glad you enjoy seeing the pics of my family gathering.

Thanks, kevin stilley. See my response to judypatoote above.

Thanks, larry. Glad you enjoy being a part of the family gathering through my pictures. But I can imagine that it could make one a bit homesick that way. Thanks for naming the game, too.

Thanks, ben reynolds. We do have fun when we get together as a family. We are a good fit. :)

Thanks, cergie. Indeed I am blessed to have such a good multi-generational family to be a part of and celebrate with.

Thanks, mreddie. It is a good thing to have an extended family such as I do. We all are blessed by God and one another.
