Teaching the Girls

 After a cold trip to Bonorong, Maria and Marina and I retired to the garage to play games.  Splendor and Wingspan.  Maria won Wingspan!!!!

Hiking

Went to Mt Field East with Cass, Cass's sister Ashlea, Martha, and Taylor.  The weather was bad - we were snowed on.  So we cut the hike short, stopped at the Salmon Ponds and ate pancakes, and then came home and played games.

Crushed at Hogs

Went to HOGS.

Started off with Splendor -- got crushed by Martha.

Moved on to Power Grid the card game.  Came last.

Then tried Roll for the Galaxy.  Came last.

Had a fantastic time!!!

Martha and Joanne in Splendor

My pathetic nuclear power plant

Martha plotting.

Crap farming

Went to HOGS and played a couple of games.

Splendor.  I was about to win, but in the move before mine Rob made a winning move and got to 16 points, and I could only get to 15.

Then played Agricola.  Made a bad first move, going for a profession rather than wood.  The profession didn't earn me nearly enough points, and I came in last.  After we went home I realized I forgot a bunch of bonus points, but that would have only made me 2nd last.  But I do love me some Agricola!

Also being played -- Terra Mystica

And a game of Machi Korro to finish up
