Spending time with my family around the dinner table today

We spent an hour today around the dinner table with four members of our family.  Instead of sitting in chairs, they were on our computer where we had a Face Time visit with our Apple computers.  Does this work when face-to-face in the skin visits are not possible?  

Is this a viable alternative for baby-boomer grandparents like ourselves who have family living in another state or country?  Can you fill that part of your heart where you really want to see your children and grandchildren?

I would recommend it for grandparents with kids who live in other states or countries.  It's actually pretty easy technically.

Here's some pictures from our visit today with our daughter, son-in-law and grandkids this morning.

My grandson and granddaughter like to snack on rice cakes. I saw my granddaughter eat her first cereal over Face Time.
