If you know anything about our family, you know we are game-players. I'm not sure we've ever gotten together and not pulled out the Trains, Settlers or Dominion board. We can't even get through a car ride without the "DJ Game", "Concentration" or "I Spy". So, even though we had just about 60 hours with Karen and Calvin, we made sure several of those hours were spent playing games.
Friday night was pizza and Just Dance night.
Then we finally introduced Ella to the game our family probably enjoys and plays the most-- Ticket to Ride (aka "Trains"). She had Dave giving her advice and we were all extra careful to not steal her tracks, but we weren't expecting her to kill us at her first attempt! We're looking forward to adding Ella in future Trains matches, though since she's proven to be a true contender, we probably won't be as nice! :)
And then there was the Battle of the Brains when Uncle Dave and Calvin pulled out the Stratego board.
Soaking in Yosemite, laughing in the car, sharing meals and beating each other at games, whatever we were doing, it all added up to a really great weekend! We're so thankful Karen started this annual tradition of taking one nephew/cousin at a time out to visit us!
