Dear Dragon and Pegasus – Interesting Traditions

Dear Dragon and Pegasus,

I’m sure that by the point you’re reading these, you have already figured out that we had some… different… traditions.

When I you were sick in December 2023 (half a dozen ear infections between you on top of RSV) and I was recovering from RSV, Mum played an escape room game on the TV. Since, whenever you’re sick, we tend to play one. Especially if Mum is sick, or has a broken foot like now.

This past week we all played, (I played from a distance since I was working) a game called Enigmatis. It’s a puzzle and hidden object game with a storyline. We played all three and will probably play more from the same company, Artifex Mundi.

I really enjoy watching you guess the stories, figure out the puzzles, and find the hidden objects. The game was a little scarier than I would have wanted, but you loved it.

It’s nice to relax and do something together when a large portion of us aren’t feeling well.

I know someday you’ll probably find this “cringe” but I’m going to enjoy as long as I can.

I love you!

Papa
