On New Year's day itself, we played more games and then headed over to their hotel to spend some time in the pool and hot tub. Again, the kids showed that the only thing to pull them away from playing was the call of food. We let them watch movies as the parents all went to Buckets Sports Grill for a great double date. We returned to the hotel to get schooled again by Shawna at Catan before finally calling it a night.
Despite the large amount of rain we have received over the past few days (which has made roads, driveways, and parking lots into skating rinks), their visit made it feel like the entire time was full of sunshine. The only rough part was saying goodbye when they headed back to Anchorage this morning.
