Board Games

Over the weekend we had some friends over for a game night. I have collection of about 100 board games, things like Monopoly and Risk. My friends brought over a new type of board game which includes a DVD. We had a blast, Jeff and I, we not only lost all the games we barely got any answers at all. But, did I have fun. I can't remember laughing so much. Once I got started I couldn't stop. And I wasn't drinking.

The next day Mandy came home from her volleyball game in Tokyo and she asked me, why are you laughing so much today?

The next day playing at the playground with Lily I was acting so silly that she was almost falling over with the giggles.

I had one of those morning running errands where I ended up driving around for hours. Where we live the speed limit is between 8 and 30 miles per hour. I spent a lot of time looking around and I noticed that the lake was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting the mountains. The trees are beginning to change colors. The sidewalks were littered with people, walking dogs, pushing strollers, and joggers. I can't help but love this place.

All my troubles seem to melt away because of a few short hours playing games.

I highly endorse the board game "Cranium". It's so fun to play, I'm almost tempted to get friends so I can play it!

Almost!
