Betsy's Kittens and Car Bocce

This afternoon we went over to my parents house. We were planning on playing games, but actually only Aubree and Mark ended up playing a game that Mark invented. Caleb, of course, played with the kitties. In fact, he woke up this morning saying "Betsy, Papa, Diego." (Diego is the gray kitty and Zorro is the black and white.) Caleb loves the little kitties.
Here he is hugging Zorro.


Playing with the kitties with a string was a very funny event.
So this is how "car bocce" works. Each person gets three cars of their choosing. The goal is to get your cars as close to the edge of the table without going over. Each round you have a possibility of three points- if all three of your cars are closer than any of the other person's. Your car has to make it over a certain point and cannot fall over the edge. At the beginning, there were many rounds where no points were awarded. This was a highly intense game.
Here is Aubree showing her anger that her car went over the edge and Mark won the point. I believe that I actually caught the moment where the car is going over the edge- if you notice the green car just to the top left of the red one on the edge of the table. We'll be getting a patent and selling this game for millions.
