Mark came for a visit this week and we had a great time hanging out. We had dinner with my parents on Wednesday night and then.....we started....:
"RISK: The Game of World Domination"
Mark was carefully weighing every move...
but Kevin ended up being the winner:
I spent most of the game attempting to hold onto North and South America (at one point, there was talk among the brothers as to how THEY were going to attack ME! Can you believe it!) ...but also left plenty of time for arranging my soldiers:
Thursday afternoon we went bowling (Kevin and Mark bowled, Chloe and I watched):
Michelle came over for dinner on Thursday night and we enjoyed the nice evening by sitting outside....
Once Chloe went to bed, we started another game....
Michelle was the Grand Champion. Some of her property is shown in the picture below....Those gray ships are the equivalent to hotels in regular Monopoly.
Friday morning we got to meet Mark's girlfriend using video chat on Skype. It was very nice to meet her and it was amazing to think of the technology used to make her seem like she was in the room with us! Chloe loved watching her on the screen :)
(a webcam, used to 'chat' with people far away!)
We had a wonderful visit with Mark and of course I cried when he left. Chloe cried too, but it was because she was ready for nap time :)
We love you Mark!!
