Wii, I'm hooked

Those that have never played may not understand the attraction of Wii put out by Nintendo, but I am hooked and was from the first time I played my brothers. I got Richard one for Christmas (I secretly wanted one badly so it worked for me both of us) and we play it almost everynight after Evelyn goes to bed.

We usually do a Wii fitness test to see how old we are based on how well we perform on three sports tasks. I usually get tennis or bowling. Richard, however, usually gets boxing and he hates it because it is not as accurate as others. I totally defend him on this, although it is fun watching. After we finish our fitness we either play each other in tennis or play Mario Party 8 which is similiar to a board game but has a bunch of minigames you play also. For us lately this has been a way to relax, although we don't relax when someone steals 2 of our stars and makes us lose.

We have a couple of other games that we haven;t played yet but will when the others wear off a bit. For now it is a fun activity to do at the end of a long day.

Well the baby woke after a short nap in her crib (all of 11 minutes). Until next time...
