The Return of Game Night

On Monday night we decided to get adventurous with Bug and traveled up to north Austin to see our friends John & Lorielle and Juan.  A little over a year ago we began playing board games as a group.  It started when the cable went out and we were bored.  It developed into a weekly ritual, where we would play various board games.  Some games are so complex that it takes several weeks to get the rules down (ie Puerto Rico and Arkham Horror) and some are as easy as saying 'fact or crap' or goofy like coming up with a caption for a weird Domo picture.
Amelia, my mom, Maria and I made the trip up to their place.  We packed Maria's diaper bag with provisions, assuming that we would need food and diapers for the evening.   The goal was to show off our beautiful baby girl and her big baby eyes. Well. . . . she slept the entire time. Given that our adult social interaction has been very limited over the last 6 weeks, we let her sleep and we played RoboRally. The game was a lot of fun and a certain couple ended up with a new nickname- Cheaterson's (i think you know who you are.. . . ).  Amelia made it to the first flag with relative ease (her only goal). I would have finished second had we continued game play after the Cheaterson's won. All in all, it was a lot of fun to get out of the house and to see our good friends.
