The Latest Game Obsession - Monopoly!

The day had to come.  The girls are into Monopoly.  We suggested to Lee several times last year that she might like the game, but she showed no interest.  Then this summer her cousin Cas introduced her to it, and it's been Monopoly ever since.

I remember as a kid playing Monopoly for days on end up here at the lake, so it's been fun to see.

Lee has always had a game obsession.  Two summers ago it was Mille Bornes.  There's also been Checkers, War, Battleship, and Parcheesi.  When she's into a game, she'll try to get anyone around to play with her, but in the absence of a partner (Clara will only play so long), she will play endless games by herself.  I think she's becoming a pretty good strategist.

Braids!

Aunt Melissa was such a sport during her visit here this summer.  She braided Lee's hair almost every day.
