Pass the Pigs

Today I introduced a Larsen family staple to Kenya. Pass the Pigs is a favorite game of ours. My brother and sister-in-law gave me the game for my birthday so I could take it with me. George's nephew (nicknamed Baby) lives with George's parents during the week so he can go to school. George went out of town today so I was hanging around the house. When Baby came home from school I asked him if he wanted to play a game. He excitedly said yes. So I brought out Pass the Pigs and the fun began!

For those of you so unfortunate to have never played the game, I will tell you how it's played. It's very simple. There are two rubber pigs. You roll them like a dice and get points based on how they land - on their feet, back, side, nose and ear. If it lands on the nose and ear, it's called a leaning jowler and you get the most points for that. If the pigs end up touching (called makin' bacon), you loose all your points. It's a fun, easy game. Baby and I had a fun time.
