Google +

Our last attempt at video calls with the Utah kids failed!  We tried to get Google + going on - that way we could have a multi-computer chat.  But for some reason we couldn't do it.  Then when we tried to do a single person video chat that wouldn't work either.  So we made do with a regular phone call (not nearly as satisfying).  Anyway, I'm happy to report that we seem to have our problems fixed and we will be up and running for a Google + video call with the kids today. 

Why am I so sure about that?  Well because Doug had Scott and Isaac working together to make it possible.  And they even tried it out by having a 3 computer video call going on.  Here is documentation of the event. 

Hopefully Google + works when the computers are more than 5 feet apart too!  It was so funny to see and hear them sitting next to each other in the same room video chatting!  Silly guys!
