wonderful weekend

This weekend was set aside for another gaming marathon with friends (Zack, Curtis, Colin and Dave) and family (Adrian, Abby, Linus, Jonathan and Chelsea). The big festivities kicked off on Saturday with grilling and a little fun in the backyard. Jonathan and Chelsea brought along their puppy, Olive -- it was so entertaining to watch Madeline and Linus chasing her around and trying to give her balls to play with.

We were blessed with some fantastic weather, so part of the crowd ate their lunch on the porch.

After lunch, the fun continued in the backyard until the kids had been thoroughly exhausted and naps were imminent.

The gamers adjourned to the garage (ahem... game room) and played until the wee hours of the morning. Don't know when we'll get to do this again, but it sure was fun!
