Wii Anyone?



Saturday night we took the kids over to Darren's sisters house to try the ever so popular Wii. I can count on one hand (with fingers left over) how many times I have ever played any type of video game. I have to say I actually had A Lot of fun. The kids wanted to play Guitar Hero (the whole reason we went over) and Reilly and Jacob really rocked on "Hit Me With Your Best Shoot". I tried and was booed after about 30 seconds. Okay, I'm not a rock star - like I needed a video game to tell me that. Donna then pulled out the Wii "sports package". I bowled, played some mean tennis, fished and even did some serious cow racing...Dude! it was so much fun. I was laughing so hard tears were streaming down my eyes. I was even starting to feel the burn in my upper body after a few tennis matches. I bowled my first 100+ game EVER!, pathetic I know. This fabulous piece of technology is now at the top of my families wish list, let's just hope Santa has some luck locating this almost impossible to get game system.
Wii game system = $249
Guitar Hero = $89
Finding out you suck at sports a little less in the virtual world = PRICELESS!!!

I have always been anti and I thought you were too. I guess I should give it a try some time. Jake played guitar hero on Thanksgiving and had fun.

Don thinks he's going to find one before Christmas....good luck honey! I can think of about 30 other things I want to get...
(although I do think it looks fun)

I'm anti video games, but the wii really is good. I've played the tennis and bowling at my brother-in-laws. It's really great - still don't plan on buying it though.
