The kids are off school for Thanksgiving break today.
They spent the morning reading . . .
. . . then Joy asked me to reinstall Pokemon Go on my phone. She and Leila saw someone playing it the other day, and they wanted to hunt for Ratattas and Weedles around our neighborhood.
The kids kept looking for Pokemon when we went to the mall, and they caught several in Macy's. They agreed to take turns--each time someone caught a creature, they handed the phone to someone else so they could search for Pokemon. Todd's aim with Poke Balls is a little iffy, so when he found a Pokemon he asked Joy to help him catch it.
After we ran our errand, Todd and Anna played with real, live humans at the indoor playground . . .
. . . while Joy, Daniel, and their new Pokemon competed at a virtual gym nearby. The big kids found the gym a little disappointing, possibly because they haven't leveled up any of their Pokemon enough to be serious contenders in a match. All in all, it was kind of fun to find Pokemon today, but I was glad that when we got home the kids stopped playing with virtual creatures and went back to playing with each other.
