Thankfully Robert and Shawna came down yesterday evening and kept the boys and I company through the day. We introduced them to Carcassonne and upgraded their Catan experience to Cities and Knights. Shawna, again, showed her talent for these games to the point that we all ganged up on her one set to keep her from that final game-winning road. The kids all seemed to have a blast. With both the Jack family's visit and yesterday's lake excursion with Michelle Kallus Yeager and family, we have definitely been happily entertained.
I know that Memorial Day about more than seeing friends, having fun, and looking forward to summer (and I have written such in previous years). Still, I am happy for any reason that we can have to enjoy the company of others.
