Oh my gosh!  I love playing board games with the family...especially TRIVIA!!!  So, how excited was I when I saw that there is a Family Game Night in Boise coming up this Friday, February 11th.  And it's FREE!  Beginning at 6:30pm, the Ada Community Library (10664 W Victory Road, Boise, ID) will be holding a screening of Despicable Me (totally funny...I have it on DVD).  Afterwards, there will be games and grub for everyone.  I am just going to have to make an appearance here, I think.
