This Week It Was MONOPOLY : Electronic Banking!

This week Madison Cronin joined us for our Saturday evening game night. She even brought a game - "Speak Out!" but there were too many people here to play it. It looks really funny! So we all decided it was going to be Monopoly instead.

Monopoly: Electronic Banking doesn't use money. All of the financial transactions are done using a mobile ATM machine. You start out at the beginning fo the game with $15,000,000. Properties that used to cost a couple of hundred dollars inthe old version, now cost 1.5 to 4 Million dollars! Hey, that's inflation for ya.

Madison from the USS Leyte Gulf  is the one disguised as a Hollywood movie star that didn't want to be recognized! Can you tell which one that is??

John was well...let's say he was preoccupied! :) Josh was trying to highlight his new facial hair. Look close at his upper lip!!

Yvonne was really intense as she went for the dice! Andrew on the other hand??? He was busy!

Guess who won the game? I was the first one to go bankrupt! The game went really long! It didn't end until 10:30! That's an hour and a half past when we normally finish. But everyone was really into the game.

By this time in the game Yvonne owned all of the houses and hotels on the board.

Sunday Yvonne made our traditional annual Irish feast - Corned beef and cabbage and potatoes and carrots. Bread for the day was Irish Soda Bread.

After lunch we watched one session of Focus on the Family's "The Truth Project" 

and then, because it seemed to go along with that so well, we watched "God's Not Dead"
