My mother was so good at winning on the wheels that most of our Christmas shopping was done in the summer at Lucky Leo's or Sonny and Rickey's in Seaside Heights.

I think it skipped a generation because my sons Lennon and Albert are so good at the skill games that they cleaned up at Legoland. First, Lennon wins a giant bear by rolling a wiffle ball into the only yellow glass in the group. Then they both scored huge Minions after they sank basketballs at the shootaround.

Fortunately my wife was smart enough to ship the prizes home via UPS than having to get them seats on the plane!

Check out video of Lennon and Albert showing off their skills below.
