Of Marbles and Men

We had a Family Home Evening where marbles took the center stage.  In cub scouts that afternoon I had taught our cubs about the almost forgotten game of marbles.  For FHE Kyle taught us all about it again.  Lucky for us Anna AND Grandpa were visiting!

Marbles!  They’re so pretty.  Like tiny pieces of art.  Hatches gave us this beautiful set of Solitary.  It’s quite habit-forming.

Grandpa added to the fun with his skill and knowledge.  We learned words like “scootch”, and '”knuckling down” and playing for “keepsies”.

There were smiles all around.

I think he’s laughing because he beat us all.
