October 11, 2015: Back to the Future

We must have been pretty tired as even I did not get up until after eight and Liesl was not out of bed until a quarter after eleven!

We got a lot of rain today, the most that we have seen since we have come to Nicaragua.  It rained for a very large portion of the day.  Mostly we have gotten short bursts of rain but today we actually got long, sustained rain which was really nice.  It was mostly pleasant to sit out all day, no risk of sweat which is a nice change.

Dominica and I ate leftover pizza for lunch today.  We overestimated two nights ago and got way too much for the kids. So now we are eating it cold.

I wanted to go out for another walk today but it really did rain nearly all day.  Some of it was light and if I knew that it would stay like that I might have risked it.  But sometimes it would turn into a torrent and I really did not like the idea of getting caught in that so decided to stay in.

This evening was a family video game evening.  Last night we played Dominica’s video game which was not child appropriate so they were not able to hang out with us while she played it.  Tonight I played Back to the Future also from Telltale Games, like the game that Dominica was playing last night.

Liesl and Luciana came in and snuggled in the bed with us while I played.  We played for probably two hours.  It was a lot of fun.  The Telltale games are so perfect for people to watch you play, it really is like we are all watching a movie together as a family, but one where we get to interact with it all of the time.  I am looking forward to finding more and more of these Telltale games, although we already own nearly their entire collection (some titles twice via both Steam and GOG) so really we are mostly waiting on them to get off of their butts and write some new games for us to play!
