New Version of Chinook Tag

Chinook tag is played with rules similar to human tag. Someone is it and the others run, taunt and try not to be "tagged".  Lupin and her family came over for a visit.  Anna and Klara, by squealing and running, let the four Nooks know they wanted to be part of the game. Their twist to the game included a cattail " tag-wand" from the pond.

Lupin and Trask running past the wand.

 Trask's turn to tag Anna.

 Klara's turn to wield the wand.

Eventually the game moved to the garden and took on the added element of leaping from tire to tire. Fortunately my newly roto-tilled tires did not yet have vegetable transplants in them. The chasing dogs did not stick to just the tire rims

The Nooks ended up the victors. Kerstin had brought a large bag of homemade cookies. I forgot that I had "temporarily" put the bag on the porch - forgot until I found pieces of  zip-lock bag scattered in the yard the next morning.
