Catching pokemon-go thingemebobs with grandchildren.....

[Mammou]

Yes you read it correctly I am no boffin on all these new electronic games and stuff, but hubby acquired the new PokemonGo app for his phone to impress the boys and today when I had to go post some parcels the boys joined in on my walk with Granpa's phone in hand. Down the road... one caught.... turn left and walk, walk, run a bit Mammou, it might get away! ..... Ok got it. Now lets go down this road.. ahhhh caught another! (Phew... now we're cooking:)) Ok there is a stream down that way..... oh dear we cant get to it from here, lets try down the next lane......

This is how a short walk down to the post box turned into a wonderful 1hour walk and a visit to the park and a lot of chatting about how/what to do when a monster appears. Even found an egg that would only hatch after you walked 5km.

I know that it is a silly game, but if it gets families to go on a scavenger hunt and get exercise, I say why not . I know that there are a lot of people who do this irresponsibly, but when done in the right way, I think it is a lot of fun (Even for grannies with "cool" grandsons like me.

OK my walk for the day done, my "coolness" as granny upped, I am ready to start thinking of what to have for supper....

Salmon, salad and a few veggies sounds about right

Have fun out there

Sounds as though you and your grandchildren had a fun time getting exercise, now you will have to get the app for yourself 😁😁

That sounds excellent. My grandsons would love that. They have only just got over the shock of seeing me roller skate some years ago! You have inspired me. Thank you.

Hi, now I must say I am very impressed Tryphenia, I would not even have tried roller skating when I was in my teens and tweens...... I don't know whether you read any of my other posts, but I am the granny who got taught to ride a bike when I was nearing my sixties by her daughter But who cares, I am now on the back of hubby's tandem and enjoy being out there taking the photos and not worrying about gears, people, dogs, cars etc, etc Have fun whatever you attempt on your next "grandson impress" session LOL
