Don't Eat Pete

Don't eat Pete is a family game that we used to play when I was a little girl. It is so simple yet incredibly fun for kids. I remember getting so excited and nervous when it was my turn. As we got older we would play tricks on each other to make it a bit more interesting.  There are lots of memories with this game that I hope to continue on with our children. 

The game goes like this, you get a muffin tin and fill each cup with whatever candy/treat you want. Then one person leaves the room while the rest of the group picks one of the cups to be Pete. The person who was out of the room comes back in and starts picking candy from any cup they want. If the person picks the cup chosen to be Pete then the group yells, Don't Eat Pete as loud as they can. Then their turn is over. VERY VERY simple, but so fun.

Dad doesn't think he can be beat. HAHA We shall see.

Andrew did great his first round. He got 10 marshmallows before he got Pete. 

I love what Emeri did every time some one went. She couldn't handle the suspense so she would cover her ears with her hands. HAHA She was too smart during her turn though. After her 7th cup she picked Pete and while we were yelling, Don't Eat Pete, she quickly grabbed the rest of the marshmallows with her other hand. Austin and I were too shocked and hysterically laughing to get after her. She was so fast to grab the rest of her treasure.

These pictures were of the three younger kids on the airplane ride home from Seattle. Jenna and I took all 7 of our kids, ranging from ages 6 to 5 months on a 6 hour flight. Man...we were crazy, but hey, we got to see family for a whole month! It was well worth it.
