Our family isn't the most... athletic... family in the world.  We have a tendency to spend more time indoors, playing games (board, role-playing or computer - we're equal opportunity) or reading a book.  But last summer, something happened that got us outside a lot more, got us walking and exploring more of Nashville.  Last July, we downloaded

I was suspicious of Pokemon Go at first, then I saw all these people out walking and changed my mind. It seems like such a great thing both for exercise and meeting new people! I'm glad it's worked that way for you!

So am I, and thanks! It's been a blessing, and it even gives me something to have in common with some of the kids I teach at Parents' Day Out. Thanks for stopping by!

Great. Hope it keeps being fun for everyone. I play a little. My partners use it all the time. I think it's a great game.

That it is! I don't play as much as my husband or son (they're really into fighting the gyms), but I have fun with it and it gives us something we can do as a family. Thanks for stopping by!

That urban parkway sounds like a real blessing! Miles and miles of places to walk and explore, and recharge your connection with nature. I'm glad your family has found something that encourages the kids to take advantage of it, too. :)

I'm glad that we have as well. I grew up in the country so nature was something I took for granted. They are growing up in the city in an electronic age. This is just such a game changer for us! Thanks so much for stopping by!

We love it too! Although now I think my husband and I are more interested than my kids, lol. In the fall, every Thursday while my daughter was in dance, my son and I would take a 2 hour walk around our Greenway on a PokeHunt! Now that the second gen critters are out there, I have renewed interest. I even got a Ditto last week!!

I caught a ditto the other day when I was trying to get a zubat for an eventual crobat. I wasn't sure whether to be happy or sad! :-) My husband takes walks on his work campus (which is crazy with Pokestops) during lunch, so he far outstrips my son and I as far as levels go! It's so much fun to share with family! Thanks so much for stopping by and commenting!

The family who Pokemons together stays together! A fun entry!

True enough! And you know us, we love our geekiness! ;-) *hugs*
