Friends and Games - Oh, and NO HAIR

Roberto has transformed!

He got fed up with the hair hurting him when he slept and when taking his hat off so he shaved the rest of the hairs.  Also, he was looking pretty mangy.  There is a bit of stubble because he had to use the electric shaver.  It's funny to see the tan line on his scalp from his hair.  Also, his head is very shiny in the sun!

Roberto is soooo happy now.  He spent the rest of the day commenting about how nice it is to not be in pain from removing his hat and how there are no more random hairs on his shirts.  He was also excited about the fact that he shaved all his hair!  Wearing his cap will be more vital now to protect his skin from the sun.  He needs to avoid getting sun burned.  Sun burns lead to burnt skin which may lead to an infection.  :(  In addition to being giddy about the lack of hair, he was trying to persuade me into shaving my own hair.  NO WAY. 

Later in the day, we got some visitors!  Eric and Michelle are visiting and we got a surprise visit from Kat and Rob!  We spent the day playing board games. I'm not talking about the fluff games of "Candy Land" or "Trouble".  The board games we like to play are along the lines of "Pandemic", "Smallword", and "Dominion."  Today, we tried out two games we hadn't played before: "Kingdom Builder" and "Seasons."  Both were pretty awesome!  Below are pictures of the games at the end.

Above is "Seasons" which is a sort of deck building and resource gathering game.  The rules and nuances of the game were challenging to learn at first.  Once we figured out the cards and resources, the game was a lot more fun.

Ah, "Kingdom Builder."  You try to build up your kingdom a few settlements at a time, but you can only build where you are told to build.  This game had simpler mechanics and was pretty easy to learn.

I haven't played board games for a while now, and I haven't played new ones for a long time so today was pretty fun.  Michelle and Eric brought "Pandemic" with them and it reminded me how I want to add it to our collection of board games.  Oops.  This blog just turned into a board games commentary blog! 

Tomorrow we'll make sure everything is in order for the second cycle.  Just a couple more days now.
