July 9, 2017: Game Day and Rachel Starts Packing

I got up and cleaned some this morning while everyone was still asleep.

Another morning of Liesl and I being up before anyone else.  So we had some time to hang out and video game together.  First off she tried playing Bad Rats.  But after a little bit she decided that she was not into it.

We played Cheesecake Cool Conrad for a while.  That is a really cool and interesting puzzle platformer.  The girls really like that.

Liesl played Morphopolis, which she really liked.  She was having so much fun with it that she decided to dress up for it so that she would fit into the game more.

After Morphopolis we played some MouseCraft.  Then we returned to The Journey Down that we were playing a few nights ago.

Rachel started working on packing up today.  She is moving out in a few days to move out to Wiley or somewhere like that that I have never been to.

July 8, 2017: Liesl Gaming Day

Liesl and I were up before anyone else this morning.  So we started the day playing her new game Slap Village from Steam together.  That is a cute game and looks like it will really be fun.

After Slap Village, Liesl and I played XCOM: Enemy Within together.  She totally loves this game and really gets into all of the characters in it and the strategy behind everything.

Liesl played Castaway Paradise for a while, so I went to the office to work.

Dominica and I started watching the new Netflix series GLOW today.  So far, it seems kind of interesting.  I really like Alison Brie, so that’s what convinced me to give it a try.

July 7, 2017: The Carrollton Splash Park

The girls tried playing some Move or Die with their cousins online this morning.  It did not work out really well, though.  That is a tough game in general and playing it online did not work out great.

This afternoon we packed up the girls and we took them to a splash park that Carrollton has.  We have never tried one of these before, but I had heard about it from one of the other parents at one of the regular playgrounds so I had a feeling that the girls would really love it.

It took a little driving around to find, but we found the splash park and it is not far from us at all.  And it is really nice, and very busy.  Lots of fun stuff.  The girls just loved it.

Such a great idea for the Texas heat.  The splash parks are going to be a new place for us to go.  And a great place for the girls to make local friends.

Dinner tonight was veggie dogs and corn on the cob.

The girls played Castle Crashers online for a while with their cousins this afternoon.  Then tonight the girls and I played more Book of Unwritten Tales together.  We did two more chapters of it tonight!

July 6, 2017: The Book of Unwritten Tales

Today we signed the paperwork officially putting our Peekskill house onto the market.  Fingers crossed, we really want to sell it and be done with it.

I made tater tots for the girls tonight.

The kids played The Deer for a little while.  Then we all started playing The Book of Unwritten Tales, which is awesome.  Both of the girls played it back in 2014, but neither have looked at it since then.  So to them it is an entirely new game, which is great as they will get so much more out of it getting a whole new play through.

We played it a lot tonight and managed to get through two chapters.  Such a great game.  I’m so glad that the girls are having so much fun with it and are getting to play it again.
