Florida Grandparents (Nov. 29 - Dec. 4)

After visiting Jen's sister in North Carolina, we decided to visit Andrew's grandparents in Florida. After the thousands of miles we had driven thus far, a day's drive was no big deal. Here are the highlights:




Our first casino gambling with electronic slot machines. Andrew lost his second $10 in 90 seconds. Jen tripled her $20 in the end. It was irrational: pushing a button and not understanding why you are winning and especially why you are losing is lunacy. Next time, Andrew is going to the poker table for Texas Hold Em (and giving Jen his slots money)











A bridge lesson with some of aces. They all thought it would be so neat for us to play in Chicago. I said we're the youngest bridge players we know. Jen said we could take a class at the local senior center. We all laughed and had lots of fun.











Everyone together for the Sights and Sounds of Christmas production put on by Word of Life. Left to right: Grandpa Ray, Grandma Vans, Grandma Dorothy, Jen, Andrew.














Shuffleboard with the Davidson grandparents. There were a few tough calls, so we put our heads together. In the end, the grandparents pummled the grandkids.
