Wii Fun

Nick has been enjoying the new Nintendo Wii he got belatedly for Christmas. Eric explained to us about the Wii system, how it's purpose is to bring people together. The play on words (we), the visual of the word Wii being several people together. As usual I don't remember all the details that Eric so thoroughly explained, but the Nintendo company is certainly wonderful to have family togetherness as their goal. The Wii Sports are played by actually swinging the controller like a bat, doing the bowling motion, using a tennis raquet, and wow, you should see Nick box. He becomes exhausted with all the jumping around. Will, on the other hand, is able to down his opponent while standing still and using minimal hand motions.



I don't understand why at the beginning of my turn everyone was yelling at me to attach the wrist handle. Like they think I would accidentally throw the controller at the screen like some crazy people have done?

Tonight Doug's family came over for last minute tacos. Duane talked his dad into bowling with him. Doug was good. He can really focus when he plays sports. Fun times. It's cool to have brothers and nephews. Oh yes, sister-in-laws and nieces are good too.

Looks like fun! We heard the velcro straps were because it was slipping out of too many hands and destroying TV sets. We have a video family game, but it's only Ms. Pacman and pole position. :)
