Cucumber Races

Friday's Fun

Pops and I recently had a weekend getaway with the entire family. We stayed in … well, I don’t really know how to describe it … a big cabin. It was great to pull away from the hectic pace of life and be with our sons, their wives, and our five grands. And it was great to be together in God’s wonderful creation.

While we were visiting, I glanced through a magazine called FamilyFun. It’s packed with creative ideas. One I plan to try with the grands is a cucumber race.

After choosing cucumbers that float (try them out in a tub of water), help the grandkids hollow them out. Then ask each child to make a different colored flag for his/her masterpiece. Stick the flags in the cucumbers with toothpicks. Once the boats are made, let the races begin.

I’d love to post some pictures of cucumber races. Please e-mail yours to mary@marymaywrites.com.

Thanks!

Oh, FamilyFun magazine has a website: http://www.familyfun.com/ .
