Ticket to Ride

By -

Emmy brought her parents over to Gramps' house yesterday. We played balls and toys...she really likes the xylophone alligator...and then Emmy went down for a nap. While she was down, the three big people played Gramps' new game "Ticket to Ride: Europe". We played the original game (US version) a couple of months ago when Chad brought it over and all three Groneman families played. We all liked it. So I bought the Europe version which adds some interesting new aspects of play to the basic game. Yesterday we played two rounds. I like the game because it moves fast (played in less than an hour) and you're never out of the game until the final points are counted.  Erica, you're right...I re-read the rules and when three locomotives show up in the 5 draw cards, you're supposed to throw them all out and deal 5 new.  Tangent:   It's so nice to have a grandchild here in the area who I can see first hand and share the delight of all the new things she learns every week and hug on on a regular basis.

Well, I've played the US version once and the Europe version twice now. Yes, I like the Europe version better as it has more options.

Lots of fun happening around here. Kiera going through daddy-withdrawls after steve had to start school again. Poor little lady. Kiera has started trying to draw pictures of people now (see photo above). Kiera has officially mastered the VCR. She knows how to work it and what all of the buttons do. (I'll bet there are some 70 year olds who don't know as much as she does at age 2). Lydia has been enjoying a few firsts lately. We gave her rice cereal last night for the first time which she was apparently more than ready for (see video), we've put her in a doorway jumper which she likes although she hasn't figured out the jumping part yet. Oh, and for those of you who have been to NM lately, you'll appriciate this: Steve and I plan on applying to a government program that is somewhat like the military in that they pay for your schooling; but instead of steve being in a branch of the military, he will owe the government years of his life serving in one of th...
