Exercising Your Mind

So...while physical fitness is important to me...so is mental fitness. :)

I LOVE games, puzzles, etc. (What can I say...I have always been like this. Once a nerd, always a nerd...) I found this one and our whole family is just loving it!



There is a junior edition and a regular edition...we have the junior. The whole point of the game is to get the escape car, which in this case is the ice cream truck, out of the traffic jam by only moving the cars forward and backward. There are 40 different challenge cards that range from beginner to expert.

I bought it for MissyMiss, but hubby and I played with it first. It was such fun! The beginner cards were way too easy, but the expert ones were really tough!!! I am naturally a really competitive person and decided it would be fun to time each other and see who could complete a given card first...hubby was not into this.

We finally let MissyMiss have a try and she also loves it. She calls it "my thinking game". I was amazed to watch her breeze through the beginner and intermediate cards. She could even complete the advanced levels by herself.

I highly recommend this game...it is excellent for keeping your mind sharp. :)
