I was late to the party on Minecraft, but am telling you now: Pokemon Go is the Best. Thing. Ever. Sure, it’s great fun, but that’s not why. The reason is that it’s the middle of a loooooong summer week where I’ve been trying to work at home while plan a last minute trip in between whines of “Mom, he’s kicking me!” and “Mom, she’s hogging the TV!”.
But yesterday? Crickets. 3 hours of guilt-free silence because the Deal Kids are playing Pokemon Go. Together. Without conflict. Getting exercise in the process. Just occasional visits for popsicle refills and to update me on their progress: Squirtle, who was being evasive, was finally caught.
And this morning Deal Girl and I took Deal Dog on our normal 1 mile walk to the park. Except today we took Pokemon Go with us and found 29 (!) Pokestops along the way. We found so many because we ended up going almost 4 miles alongside our new rare Venemoth.
Sure, I see the downside potential. I’m fortunate enough to have unlimited data -the hunt for Pikachu would definitely add up otherwise. But as long as I keep the phone away from oncoming trains and Grandma’s funeral I think we’ll be fine.
Have you caught em all yet?

Thats great I am glad you approve deal mommy. Pokemon go is not a data hog so no worries. I think I have played 48 hours since it had come out and used less then 200mb of data. Battery last decent too!
Glad to hear about data usage. Thanks.
