Chess

We are a chess family. I was taught to play as a little girl, and have always enjoyed the game. I taught Josh to play earlier this year, who in turn taught Donovan to play, who in turn taught Audri to play. :) Donovan has discovered a real talent for the strategy and thoughtfulness of the game, playing at school during breaks with some of his friends. He beats Josh more times than not in their matches! We have also realized that we enjoy watching one another play, figuring out our individual strategies and thought processes as we move our pieces around the board.

We spent a couple of hours this afternoon in chess matches, refilling our hot cocoa and sitting back around the table to watch whoever was currently playing. :) I love that we all are interested in playing such a wonderful game!
