Update (7/29)

I've been in and out of town so I haven't updated the ol' blog in a while, but I'm back and should be reviewing again shortly. For anyone wondering I went on a mission trip with my youth group to Athens, GA for a week, and then I spent some time with my wife's family in Rhode Island, and then I spent some time in the Charlotte area with my family for my niece's fifth birthday party.

Erin and I have a couple new games we like: Pickles, which is a game played with two standard decks of cards. I learned this game on the mission trip and now Erin and I are hooked. We also have a game called Bananagrams, which we found in Rhode Island. It plays a bit like a mix between Scrabble and Boggle, so if you like word games, google this on and check it out. A review of Bananagrams will be up in the future.

We've also been playing a game I made up for use with a standard deck of cards that is based on the concept of Lost Cities. It has a few twists to separate it from being a clone of Lost Cities. We call it "Gilberts," after our dog, though I may come up with a better name at some point.
