Is a puzzlement

My parents stayed with us last week on their way to and from my brother's house. When they got here Saturday night, Caleb had this lenticular clownfish puzzle out on a card table, since he knows how much Grandpa likes puzzles.  The kids managed to stick around long enough to get the outside edge put together, and then they had "bigger fish to fry". 

That left us "old folks" to finish this obnoxious (yet addicting) puzzle ourselves.  Because of it's "lenticular-ness", the puzzle pieces would "move" or change color depending on the angle you looked at it. We kept having to ask each other if the puzzle piece we just put in really did belong there.

Mom is pretty good at puzzles, but most of the time she can't be bothered.  I think she realized they weren't going to be able to go home until the puzzle was complete, so she reluctantly joined the game.
Todd took this "action shot" of all the excitement. By Sunday evening, the tension was so thick you could've cut it with a knife.

And just when it was "past late", we finished the blasted thing.

Thanks Mom and Dad, for a fun time :o)

*I just want to clarify that I am NOT wearing maternity jeans in the last picture.  That's just my white tank top peaking out under the puzzle.
