[Ad- gifted product] Another Geek Retreat tabletop night has come around and this time Robin was super excited to play Don’t Panic, as it’s a game that takes batteries. She is one of those kids that when you mention we need to take batteries, she assumes it’s going to sing, light up, and just be so much more fun. Don’t Panic is a card game where you have a buzzer and timer, which is what needs the batteries, and otherwise is a pretty straightforward game.
[Ad- gifted products] Every other Monday night, Myself, Amelia and Robin all have a girls night. While the boys go off to DnD, we put on a movie, eat fancy snacks, get some face masks on, and paint our nails. It’s a lovely way to spend time together and really connect with them, while doing something that Kai and Dann wouldn’t want to do anyway!

This class was all about Bao Buns, but in normal fashion, there were also some surprises and side dishes that were made to go with it.
When trying to deice something to do over the weekend, we ended up finding that there were some escape rooms at Lakeside! Escape Hunt actually is within Boom Battle Bar, which was interesting and slightly hard to find, but we were excited to take on Alice in Puzzleland. It had been a while since we all have done an Escape Room, and we were pumped.

When Dann and I went with some friends to The Korean BBQ House Barbican, I was surprised at such a simple name and wasn’t sure what we were going to be eating. We were on a bit of a time crunch, and with 8 other people, so getting Korean BBQ didn’t make a lot of sense for us. I would have totally been down for a big BBQ, generally, so we agreed to come back sometime in the future and try that out. What really shocked me though, was how delicious their menu of not-Korean-BBQ-food was! We had a bunch of vegetarians and vegans with us, and there were so many good options for them too.
