Mouse Trap Fun!!

Tonight Jarik, Tiaree, Keighlee, and I played Mouse Trap. It was a lot of fun. Bree was playing Wii and Chels was chillin' watching some Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman on her computer. When we got done with Mouse Trap and Tiaree had celebrated another win, so far she is 2-0 at the game, I thought it would be cool to get some pictures of the game while the marbles were rolling and the little diver guy doing his back flip into the the little bucket. The pictures turned out pretty cool. Here are a few of them:

The first 7 are the marble rolling down the back and forth thing at the beginning of the trap.



The stop sign is moving to hit the green boot to start the marble.


There it goes...

 

...and goes...



...and goes...



...zigging and zagging it's way...


...down the hill...


...to the bottom to hit the next part of the trap.

Then the part that took a few shots to get was the diver man in the air...





He looks nervous for his dive into a pool with no water.


He's off, he's the green blur thing over the blue zigzag hill.


And he lands and down comes the basket, trapping the little mouse.

It was fun playing this game with the kids. Then having them help reset the trap and run the thing over and over again was a job that they had fun doing. Cool stuff!
