Murder Noodle

When our plans to travel to the west coast and Niagara Falls this summer were scrapped thanks to the coronavirus, Elysha and I invested some of our travel budget into backyard games, thinking we’d be spending a lot of time at home.

Sprinklers
Frisbees
Soccer balls

We’ve also added a hammock and upgraded the landscaping. We’re considering buying kayaks. I plan on adding bocce, spike ball and anything else potentially fun as the summer rolls on.

If we’re going to be home for much of this summer, we’re going to try to be as relaxed and entertained as possible.

With all of these fun and games just waiting to be played, what is the only game that Charlie wants to play?

Murder Noodle

An unintentionally invented game wherein we attack each other on the front lawn with an old pool noodle. We smack each other. Slap each other. Stab each other. Trip each other Attempt to extract the pool noodle from our opponent by any means necessary.

It’s quite literally the only game he wants to play. He asks to play constantly.

So much for our investment in lawn games.
