Pkam's Folly

Here is a picture of my mom with baby Collin, shamelessly stolen off her blog. I took some of him lying on the floor, but they didn't really turn out.


And Mom with John and Cassie before they head off to Virginia!



Grandpa left shortly thereafter, and then we were left with just ourselves, Matt and Sam, and their kids.

Sam, Anne, and Jeff

Our time at the cabin has come to a close, so of course we enjoyed spending some time with silly things. Stockton, Preston, and I created a team for Final Fantasy and directed Stockton as he played it:

His name is Pkam because it's short for "Psycho Kamek", who dressed
just like the white mage here in "Mario and Luigi: Superstar Saga"

Unfortunately, we're morons who didn't realize we could buy useful supplies like weapons and healing items, so we played about five times and wiped out repeatedly, and laughed about the impossibility of the game. Only later did we watch a speedrun on YouTube and discover the existence of the hidden shops. Ah, now that made sense. Very unclear.


We played Joe Name It again and Stockton and I laughed for quite awhile about book titles, because somehow we got on the subject of "Pride and Prejudice" (perhaps for its five syllables). Anyway, that quickly turned into "Bride and Breadjudice", or "Bride and Bread" as I liked to call it for short. We made bread puns for the next twenty minutes. "He came from the yeast". "I loaf you". Et cetera.

Stockton drew this

Yep. It was a pretty fun day, but it's always sad to bid farewell to the cabin when the time comes!
