When I was young, there was only one way you could keep me inside during the summer: a massive thunderstorm. I can still remember waking up early and preparing to grab my bike from the garage before noticing how little light was filtering in through the windows. Luckily I come from a large family, and we could always find something to do in doors. More often than not this meant sitting down and enjoying a board game.
At a very early age I stuck to Candy Land and other board games for kids. Eventually I graduated to checkers and my personal favorite, chess. Dad was the undisputed chess champion, and my siblings and I would take turns challenging him for the crown – with very little success. It’s a shame we didn’t get all that much practice, because the second the sun came out I was back to basking in the warm summer air.
