Checkmate!
Zachary and MacKenzie have discovered chess. They’ve been playing it regularly with one of the counselors at the Youth Center, and recently found our chess set. I love that they’ll spend time playing up in the play room, and am impressed at how quickly they seem to have picked up on the game. I’m sure they’ll both hit up Papa to play against them when he visits later this month.They both entered a tournament at the Youth Center today -- double-elimination. MacKenzie won her first game, then lost a game before playing to a draw that led to a rematch, which she lost. Zachary is currently undefeated. When he goes back on Thursday, he’ll play the winner of the “losers’ bracket” for the championship. He’s feeling pretty confident though since he’s currently undefeated!
