From The Past: May 21, 2005

Our first official family game day began on Friday. We played Monopoly.

It had been a while since we had played and I was excited! That excitement dissipated some when I realized that all properties had been bought and I only owned four of them. That’s not so good.

At least I wasn’t the first one out. After about an hour and a half Andrew was bankrupt. After two hours, I followed suit. Andrew and I left the house as he had an appointment and when we got back home, Kevin and Ashley were still fighting it out. After four long hours, Ashley, the EIGHT-YEAR-OLD, beat us ALL in Monopoly. We should be ashamed!

Here is the big winner:

You can see all the $500 and $100 bills in her hands that she ended up earning not including the 50’s, 20’s, 10’s, 5’s, and 1’s. She had property and hotels everywhere.
