Jonny and Megan's family have been in town for a few weeks now, and we have stolen them away from Megan's parents a few times.
We planned it so that they could borrow our second car while they were in town. Unfortunately, when they got all the kids loaded up and ready to go back to Grandma and Grandpa's, our car wouldn't start. Luckily our friend/neighbor Doug came over to save us with his diagnostic skills and ratchet set. We ended up having to completely replace the battery, which meant that we had Seth and Catherine captive for 5 hours longer than anticipated (Megan and Aaron 2.0 escaped in the other car). Catherine wanted to feel included with all the tool people, so she grabbed a tape measurer and informed us that our car was 2 miles long and 5 dollars wide.
Despite the late bedtime that we inflicted upon them, they agreed to come back and spend the night this past weekend. Aaron spent the weekend fulfilling Catherine's every whim, most of which involved throwing her in the air. He was sad when she had to go to sleep. I got the Seth Blood Minecraft Crash Course, which was a true delight.

| Turns out that Carcassonne is like real world Minecraft. Who knew that there was a war mode to this typically mild-mannered board game? I love how creative this kid is. |
I'm glad that we had the kids as an excuse to check out the kids corner at the clubhouse. We rode the little train thing around and went putt putt golfing. Well, Jonny and Aaron duked it out on the putt putt course while Catherine played in the sandpit, Seth pretended to be a minecraft miner, and I sat on a bench. Erry'body had a great time.

| Catherine cheesing for Uncle Aaron on the clubhouse train. We failed to get a picture where you could actually see the train. |

| They have this cool digger contraption that Seth was quite enthusiastic about. |

Not sure how functional or ergonomic it was, but that's ok.
