For the kids, "the cabin" and "board games" are synonymous terms, probably because the cabin features an entire closet filled with them: Clue, Sorry, Life, Stratomatic Football, just a bunch. Their favorites this go-round were clearly Clue and Life, and this morning they opted to make the latter their swan song for the trip.
As I watched them play, it amazed me to see how much they've grown. Brady can't read, but he played along, spinning and moving his little car and excitedly counting out his money and taking part in the challenges as they arose. Isaac read each of his cards aloud, rarely missing a word, and smiled like a goon whenever his spin revealed that he'd added another baby to his brood. And Abby... she thinks and strategizes.
And of course, beyond all of that, it was a blessing to see them enjoying something together.
