This weekend was great and relaxing as I got to hang with some of my family. I just needed go down and visit my mom since I hadn’t seen her for a couple of months. She’s been busy this school year and so I decided to make the trip down. My husband brought his laptop for some side projects and we were good to go.
I also got to hang out with my brother for a little bit which was a nice bonus. We played some of the Wii Sports Resort and I discovered how much I enjoyed video archery.
Lots of games and group activites - perfect for a party!
Some of the games that we played included:
- Swordplay
- Bowling
- Archery
- Canoeing
- Dogfighting (my husband is a beast)
Now that we’re back home, I’m going to relax a bit and write some of this weeks articles a little ahead of time.
