Games

Have you ever played Farkel? Well, Nathan was dying to teach us how. It was, he explained, so much fun and easy too. (It was hard for Ron and I to be quiet. We've played before. Too many rule explainers makes it complicated) So we played. At least He didn't win. Kristin did. Jon and Mindy barely got in the game. They scored only once each. I don't think they'll be too eager to try again. Not much fun that way. I think Jon would have preferred a rousing game of risk, or Monopoly. But those games have been virtually banned at our gatherings. Anyway, Just ask Dave and Anita how I handle losing. We played ladder ball with them on our camping trip and I was downright grumpy about not doing well at that. Oh bother. Then, It was Yatzee the night before, and Kristin won that one too. I think she had no less than 3 Yatzee's. Sheesh. Someone should tell her that Kroesche's hate to lose. We also played the question game...that goes something like "If you could choose any time period to live in and take one thing from this one with you, which one would you choose?" If you had $100 extra dollars to spend on anything you wanted what would you buy?" You learn a lot about each other that way. We did the games after the boys were in bed. We didn't have to divide our attention that way. Fun stuff that. Talk about being blessed to have such a family-that would be me.
