Family Game Night

As the kids have gotten older, it's hard to find a time when we are all available and up for a family game night. One recent night, we were all home at the same time and all in agreement that we should play a board game.

The game we chose was Settlers of Catan.

We purchased this game right before we went to Pigeon Forge over Thanksgiving break. We've played it only a few times, plus it had been a while since we had played, so we had to reread all the directions.

Planning strategies.

We played in the dining room. All of the pets who are not kept in cages (the rats and the hamster) hung out with us. Kay-C found this spot underneath our table.

Snickers chose a spot on the floor between Hannah & me.

We brought in Scout's favorite pillow for him.

The game lasted nearly two hours. We think it would have been a bit faster if the kids hadn't been so chatty about non-game topics. Oh well.... it was still a fun night.
