We're Puzzled!

We spent a long weekend at Hickory Knob State Park with Mom and Dad this past weekend. We went there a lot when we were younger, so it was a neat trip down Memory Lane. I'll be posting different pictures from the weekend, but my favorite pictures were from the puzzle!

There's this big lodge with lots of games and stuff, and Friday evening, we started a puzzle. We left around 9 p.m. with the puzzle nearly done, but when we came in the next day, we realized that it was a losing battle - there were so many pieces missing. So Beth and Mom started a new one Saturday afternoon. They say they got nearly halfway through, but when we came in Saturday evening, someone had taken it apart, so we started from scratch.


Dad and I shot a game or two of pool and let them get started.


After Dad beat me in a few games, I decided I may be better off at the puzzle table. After seeing the difficulty of the puzzle and small size of the pieces, I decided I would document the instead of doing the puzzle.

They really got into the puzzle thing...


This is how I felt watching them.


Eventually, Mom got tired...


...while Dad just gained steam.


They got this far, then we all pooped out.
