Fun N' Games

Winter vacation has us funning and gaming.

Julian plays "Settlers of Catan" with his mom and dad, as well as neighbors. It's a great game of strategy, diplomacy and luck in which each player produces and uses resources to build settlements and cities.



The robber looming:




Julian and his dad play Crokinole every day. Sometimes Julian wins, sometimes Dad wins and sometimes Julian wins again. They are practicing for the Chinese Crokinole Championship in the Spring.




The flick:




It should come as no surprise that the kids love video games. Here is the Nintendo DS. Ask the kids what game it is.



Athena's favorite on-line cartoon, "Peep and the Big Wide World" which she watches everyday.



Charles' Poker night:



And in case there wasn't enough China content--Mahjong!
