Game, Games, and More Games

After three days in London, there was tons of wash to do for eight people and I had to plan our trip to Normandy and Paris for when Garth gets here, so I spent the whole day at the computer. Meanwhile, the kids all started in on games.
Preston has had a great time playing computer games and board games with all the kids. He was amazed that they all play the same games and have watched the same videos. The Internet really has made the world a small place. They spent the morning on the computer, the afternoon at the table with board games and ended the evening with football (soccer).

We were glad to see that they even play Settlers, of course, the development cards are in Dutch which make them a little hard for us to read. Last night, I would have had my first victory in Settlers if I had played smarter on my last turn, but Preston ended up winning. Preston maintains his winning record. Oh well, maybe I will win tonight. We even taught them a few of our games like Indian Poker.

We played Settlers with some friends on Friday and I won! You can tell Preston that when he finally comes to visit to visit me, I will totally take him on! I'm glad Preston has taught them the quientesentail American card game. What's next? Texas Hold-um?
