Here comes a new challenger

So we woke up late and decided to go to the Museum of Anthropology before Leon arrived. Its always wonderful to see the old artifacts. Guy had a field day taking many pictures of masks. Shan also happy to be with her new camera in the museum took some happy snaps as well, especially Raven and first man (sculpted by Bill Reid).

Leon called from the airport so I headed home and waited for him to show. It was tops to welcome yet another traveler to our home. Once he got his stuff stashed away, we went and joined Shan, Guy and Anna at our local Japanese place on 4th. After a yummy meal, we got some more shopping done and then headed back and took it easy for the rest of the day. And thus started the great ping pong championship.

Earlier last week Shan had purchased a ping pong set that you can attach to almost any table. So we all had a few rallies but it ended up being Leon and I constantly battling it out.

We then went out for Mexican at our favourite Mexican restaurant Las Margaritas.

From there we came home and enjoyed some local wares, sat back and listened to Keating the Musical (which I had been wanting to hear) and various other silly tidbits. We introduced Leon to the Colbert Report and there was much rejoicing.

Saturday we recovered from the night before and prepared for the board gaming session we had planned for that night. It was the first official GUGS north (nicknamed JUGS.... stop smirking). We had Rena and Elwood over and played some old favourites.

Sunday came and we said our goodbyes to Guy and Anna. It was sad to see them go but it was great to have them visit. Thanks for coming guys, it was a blast! Anytime you want to drop by, feel free :)
