Family and Friends - Day 9

It was rainy and cool in Loon Lake today, so we just spent a relaxing day in the house. I spent the day reading the Malifaux rulebok (if you're reading this Court - I love the fluff, I think I need to see a game played to get a grasp on the rules, and I'm not certain about the models - probably need to see them in person). For lunch, Colette made bread and buns and she gave each of the kids a little bit of dough that they could use to make whatever they wanted. The kids played until around the middle of the afternoon, when there was a break in the rain and everyone went for a walk.

After the walk, Rick got out his quad and took all of the kids for rides. Both boys loved their rides, even though Evan usually gets frightened around loud engine noises. Auntie Colette tricked him by telling him how much fun it was going to be, and getting him seated on the back before the engine was started. Colette took Sandra for a ride and somehow convinced her to actually drive! Once everyone had gone for a couple of rides, Rick took Jordan on his first motorcycle ride. Xander watched him go and then decided he wanted to try as well, so Rick took him for a quick ride around the block. That is quite the improvement from the winter, when we could hardly get either of them on the small snowmobile.

For supper, we went down to the Dairy Bar for supper. Sandra used to work there as a teenager and the chicken and mozza sandwiches with gravy are extremely good. After supper, we had some ice cream and wandered around on the beach before heading back to the house to give the kids baths.

I have two Malifaux factions. You are more than welcome to take a detour back through Edmonton to play a game!!
