It's Been a While

We got to spend some time Saturday with Gramma Pat.  It's tax season so she is busy working, but we were happy she had the day off and could hang out with us.  We did a very typical excursion.

We had lunch at Chili's then played Monster Golf.  In between we ran some errands I had for our upcoming school carnival and stopped and got donuts for breakfast from a new bakery in Lafayette called Flour Mill Bakery.

We ended the day with a treat from Pink Walrus and several rounds of the bottle cap game.

Friday Family Night

The three of us headed to Under the Arch for dinner.  Camden and Kevin both got the buffet, which features catfish fillets, shrimp, clams, and hushpuppies, plus some yummy sides and a salad bar.  I got the HUGE Arch Burger but could only eat half (after snacking on a few shrimp and hushpuppies from Kevin's plate). 

While there we decided to see if GaGa and Grandpa were home and up for a few rounds of Euchre. 

Camden enjoyed playing with Buddy.  He was wrestling with her on the bed, but as soon as I got my phone out he stopped and "posed" for a picture.

Camden also discovered that the cats would cuddle up with her if she sat in the whirlpool tub away from Buddy.

It’s What Works

Chicken noodle soup, teddy bear, cartoons, and mom. It’s always the request when you’re not feeling well.

Messages

Camden is on a toaster strudel kick for breakfast.  I like it because I get to write fun messages to her each morning.

Friendly City Games

For some family time, we headed to a local shop in downtown Crawfordsville.  They have new games to purchase and a whole bookshelf of games to try.  We picked and tried out four - Stacking Cats, Angry Sheep, Rock Paper Wizards, and Tapple 10.  Stacking Cats was a dud...impossible to stack.  But we agreed that Angry Sheep had potential, but not something we'd buy. 

We enjoyed Rock Paper Wizards.  It had fun hand signals & battles with each other, but found it a bit confusing on some rules.  Our favorite was Tapple 10.  It uses the same basic items for 10 different games.  We only played one of them and we laughed a lot, had good even competition between the three of us, and it was easily our favorite. 

You could definitely tell the store was mostly enjoyed by the typical fantasy game geeks, but it was a nice change of place...plus it was free!

Winter Swim

I always forget that the Crawfordsville pool is a great indoor option in the winter.  Such a fun way to spend a cold Saturday afternoon with friends.
