Hungry Hungry Hippos

Every time I've seen this game at the store I've really wanted to buy it because it was one of my absolute favorites as a kid.  I've held off because the box says ages 4 and up, but Saturday I gave in and got it anyway.  I know the age suggestion is mainly because there are small plastic balls for the hippos to eat, but the boys are really good about not putting small toys like that in their mouths (heck - I let them string tiny beads on shoe laces all the time and they don't eat those).  Well they were so excited to play their new hippo game after breakfast on Sunday and had a blast trying to gobble up the most hippo food.  It was fun having enough of us not to leave any hippo unmanned!
