Gramma and Gruppa...



...as Briar would say!
We had such a good time with my mom and dad here for the week. Normally, when we see them, it's a major holiday and there's a lot of divided time and running to and fro. This time, we were so glad to just be able to stay home and hang out with them without a bunch of "extra-curricular" activity. We did do some fun Lancaster County stuff...we saw "Daniel and the Lion's Den" at the Sight and Sound theater, we went to Roots(a popular nearby open market), and we had "the best ice cream in Lancaster Co." at The Creamery in Strasburg, but only after we shopped the main street with all the cute boutiques and bakeries. I would say though, the highlight was playing two or three games minimum every night of "The Settlers of Catan". It's definitely our newest favorite board game.We taught my parents how to play the first night they were here and the rest was history! Q and I have been addicts since the first game we played and they loved it too. We stayed up 'til about 2 am every night...er...morning! Needless to say, we had a great time and made a lot of really special memories. When it was time for them to leave,Truman said, "but they just got here!" He was right! ...the time went way too fast.
Love you Mom and Dad!

that happens to us every time we play Settlers too, we stay up way too late and pay for it the next day! That is the best game ever!! Do you play Cities and Knights, that is the expansion part of Settlers...it is way better! Do you have Facebook? Joan (VanRuler) got in touch with me somehow through you and then through your blog?? Anyway, I just started that too....they take up way too much time!:)
