Ah see they have it right in your in-laws house, games that you can all have fun with, even if the money is fake !!! lol

See if you had fun at the Uno party (explain what that is by the way !!! lol) you should make a determined effort to play 'real' games more often, you will have lots of fun ! lol

Uno is a card game usually for kids which works by tricking other people into taking your cards... the first person without cards left wins the hand, and then the others have to count points, we play a few hands and the first person who gets to a certain number of points looses the game... it gets very frustrating because you can get to 1 card and then end up back with a full set really quickly! If you have a few people around the table, and yeah a bottle of wine helps loosen things up, it gets really comical. Especially the way my husband plays, he's an arrogant so-and-so our friends love to put in his place and gang up on him - - with love obviously!

Chris,
When the kids are over it is all games and no drinking, for them at least. Our kids have to drive to our house and they don't drink and drive. None of them do, the law in our state takes that very seriously. Now me and the hubby may have a beer or cocktail to relax, but we are not driving so it is okay When its nice out we like to relax on the patio with a few beers and fire up the chimnia. Our summers are short and we love to sit outside in the evening listening to music and relax. The sound of birds chirping, owls hooting and Beagles baying, oh dang Bentley and Rex will you ever stop?, this is my daydream! hahaha
