Lots of folks do some heavy duty shopping on Black Friday but not us.
The weather was spectacular – nearly 80 degrees.
Fabulous any time but especially amazing for Late November.
Definitely time to play outside.
First a little Backgammon for two at the picnic table
and one reader on a swing
Some barnyard basketball,
Good defense didn’t help. She beat him anyway!
A little kitty love from a local cat
who lives down the road but likes to
make the rounds in the barn.
Then some croquet
already he’s sending her away – what a meanie
Check out the “turf” in this croquet field
It’s a close game
but the victor and runner up
Now to tell the whole truth,
We played 4 games.
David won two and came in 3rd twice
I won two and came in 3rd twice
and Carrie was runner up in all 4.
A little more reading on the porch swing
as the sun goes down
Dinner time – mmmm the second best part of
Thanksgiving, the left overs
Some after dinner relaxing at the piano
and a little more reading
SORRY…says Carrie
as she skunks us by winning THREE GAMES in a row!
David looks fairly pleased about it. Hmmmmm
We’re a game group as you can see.
I know, we’re a “sorry” group too. J
Ever played Mystery Mansion?
Well it takes at least 3 people but I wanted to get a blog post done
so Carrie and David recruited Gracie Goose and Nellie the Polar Bear.
Looked like Gracie might win but Carrie pulled it out in the end.
It was a wonderful day, no shopping required!
What a fun time had by all!!!
ReplyDeleteThe parking lot at the outlet mall in Smithfield was overflowing as we drove by. I'm glad we don't get into shopping like some folks do. Family time looks like fun.
ReplyDeleteSyl
That looks like a lot more fun than shopping!
ReplyDeleteno shopper done at our homestead either...
ReplyDeleteSure beats shopping in my book too!
ReplyDeleteYou guys really have the right idea. Fun, Fun, Fun!!!
ReplyDeleteBring the games, we love to play them also. I guess we are a sorry duo also ;o)) Hey have you played Sequence?!?! We'll bring it in case we get a rainy day ;o((
Wish you lived closer and could join the group at Huntington. But we promise to think about you guys ;o))
What a fabulous day! Much better than fighting crowds. We won't do Black Friday either :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had a wonderful day and much more fun than shopping :)
ReplyDeleteFunny, those extra "players" at the game table. Thinking outside the box again, eh?
ReplyDeleteCan't get over how much Carrie looks just like you. What a great family day....We're going to have to break down and buy some games. Can you believe we don't have any on board?
ReplyDeleteI'd take family fun time over shopping any day for sure!
ReplyDeleteLooks like a spectacular day.
ReplyDeleteGreat post! Love the last picture especially :) Can't wait to be home again for more games & fun!!
