Hanging with mom & Game Day

On Friday March 11, 2016 I went down to Appleton again to spend time with my mom. I like when it’s just my mom and I. When I got there mom wasn’t ready to go which is strange for my mom. She told me she wasn’t feeling well. She should have told me but she said she wanted to still go and play. I waited around the house and talked to my dad. My dad works from home. Then we all went to Apple City restaurant never ate there before. It’s a diner type restaurant and it was good. I was surprised how cheap it was for all three of us. Less then twenty five dollars! That is cheap for three people.

After that we said goodbye to dad and mom and I went to The Fire again. This time it was less crowded. Mom and I decide we were going to paint pottery. I couldn’t decide between this really cool mug or Sunday bowl. I decided to go with the Sunday bowl I wouldn’t use it for that though. I want to use it in my office to put random things in it. Mom picked out a berry bowl. She wants to use it at work not for berries. I painted mine all different colors while mom painted hers berry color.

We were there longer then last time three hours mostly because of me. It took a long time to paint and every color I had to paint three times. The drying period is fast but still I had to do the whole bowl. However we had fun. We have to wait a week to take them home for they put them to glaze it and put in the kiln. I can’t wait to see what both look like finished.

Saturday March 12, 2016 we had game day! This time we only played one game and it was a long one. We played Dead of Winter.

This game has many pieces to set up and took some time setting it up.

At first it’s super confusing. Jeff and I watched a YouTube video on it and was still confused. Then we watched a gameplay and it sort of made sense. The hard part was the first video said one thing and the second video said different. The game has many scenarios of playing but at first it’s like what? Very confusing. Really have to play to understand even then there are some things that aren’t explained well in the instructions that we had questions on. Like what is the point of the group leader? That is never explained in the large instruction manual which feels like a magazine because it’s big. And some other questions that we couldn’t find answers on.

The game is a zombie game and as a colony we are trying to survive the Dead of Winter. We all work for a common object but beware there could be a betrayer. Also we all have a different object plus the one for everyone to achieve. We work together but separate at the same time. After a few times playing we started to get the game. However I think we missed some stuff and need to play again.

I was hoping to play some other games but this game takes a long time to play and we did play three times. There is always next time to play. Plus side we added a new member to our group Dana. I like him he is nice and funny. He also likes zombies just as much as I do.

 

 

 

 

Hanging with mom

Yesterday I hanged out with my mom and it was fun. I drove up and spend the whole day with her. First we went out to eat at a restaurant called Houdini escape gastropub. At first it’s confusing going in there for the first time. We went in on the side of the restaurant and the signs says see the hostess to be seated but there was no hostess at her post so have no idea where to stand. Funny we saw a lot of other people do the same as we. The food was delicious and the service was great. I never had pork belly before and i had pork belly soup. It tasted like roast soup. It was good and I had a burger. Yum! Would go back and now I know where to go to be seated.

After that we went to the The Fire. It’s a place to do crafts. Just walk in pick out what you want to do then do it. Now I have never been there before but mom has. What I didn’t like is there was no one who greeted us and since I have never been there before I would have liked someone to explain what they have in depth and what to do.

Mom and I did mosaic. The pricing includes a lot and I was surprised. The price is the shape you want. Mine was 18.99 and that included the tiles and grout. I did a skull and mom did a bunny we spent two hours there and it was fun. Hopefully we can do it again but something else next time.
