Time With Emmi

 When Emmi comes to town there seems to be something going on every day that she is here.  She does her best to plug in every thing she wants to see, do and/or buy while she is home for a couple weeks.  Friday was just one of those days.  Mallory told me that spending time with Gam was at the top of her list.  She invited me along with Mallory, Andrew and Hayley to go out to Sheels and shop a bit.  Apparently Abby wanted some particular shoes that she got there last year and loved them.  It was fun to wander around Sheels and then we headed back to have lunch at the house.  Neal came downstairs to join us and we had Costa Vida.  Then the games began.  We played games non-stop until 6 at which time everyone decided they were hungry.  We had dinner, cleaned up and then played more games until 10:30.  It so reminded me of our days at Bear Lake when we would play 6-handed Rook until the wee hours of the morning.  We played, Reds, Farkle, Mormon Bridge, and Fruit Salad!  I feel like I'm missing a game we played but can't come up with it right now.  We had such a fun time and I hated to see the evening come to a close.  

You can see our trusty Game Book on the corner of the table.  A couple of the games we haven't played for a long time and had to refresh our minds on the rules and the counting.  Such an amazing day!  Such a fun group!! So nice to have Emmi in town for a couple of weeks.  She and Mallory are at a concert tonight so Sprout and I are tending Brinkley.
