Happy Saturday!  The morning began by exercising our minds and bodies with fun trivia, finish the song lyrics, and stretches with the ribbons.  It was a great time!  We had to end with some adorable videos of babies laughing!  It has been a while since we've watched those, oh how we missed them!  This afternoon a good group played several games of bingo and everyone enjoyed a sing along to wonderful old-time songs after that!  It was a great day!

Happy Thursday!  It was a great morning filled with lots of laughing to funny stories and jokes and good exercises that got us ready for the day!  We also enjoyed some really funny YouTube videos of kid fails and bloopers.  This afternoon, a group went to the Alexander Ramsey House-"A Victorian Christmas."  The house was so beautiful all decorated for Christmas and it was very fascinating learning about the Ramsey's and the home.  Everyone loved it!

Happy Tuesday!  We started the day with a bunch of jokes and funny stories which gave us all a really good laugh!  Then we did lots of what's next word games, they did so great!  There were many "no's" to doing a lot exercises this morning so we cut it short to just tossing balloons to each other for a few minutes.  Pretty sure the Christmas festivities tired us all out!  We played several games of bingo this afternoon and then listened to Jim Roth play many wonderful songs on the accordion.  It was a great day!

Happy Thursday!  We started the day off with reminiscing about all the wonderful sights durning Christmas time and then exercising for a few minutes.  Before lunch, everyone watched YouTube videos of kids telling the story of Christmas.  The residents thought it was very funny since we all know how children interpret and tell things in a way we've never heard before!  This afternoon, the McGuire Middle School Jazz Band and Choir came to perform for us and pass out cookies after.  We all enjoyed the music!  After the concert, we played Christmas carol bingo with Jennifer from Music Safari!  They had a good time singing and playing together and winning chocolate!  It was a wonderful day!

Happy Tuesday! What a wonderful day we all have had! Our day began with some heart warming Christmas stories and one very witty story about a man that received all of the 12 days of Christmas presents... and how it almost made him crazy! Can you just imagine all of those birds, ladies dancing and lords a leaping delivered to you! We all just laughed and laughed! Next we all formed a little parade to walk down to Hosanna! Chapel to watch the H! Preschool kids perform their annual Christmas concert- oh, what a treat! They were all three years old- and oh, so adorable! We had just enough time before lunch for a little Stretch and Flex. After lunch and a little rest break we all gathered back in the dining room for a Holiday social. Cookies, coffee and carols were enjoyed by all. Next, we enjoyed some wonderful music by Jim Roth- our favorite accordian player!

It was a busy Saturday here at The Fountains!  Our day began with a Christmas carol sing along!  There are so many wonderful songs, it really is the best time of year!  Then we had a fun beach ball game for exercise this morning.  We had a good group that played several games of bingo after lunch.  Lastly, today a big group of kids of different ages came in for a piano recital!  Everyone loved listening to them play!  They did a great job!
