...I didn't want it to take time away from ANYTHING - family time - school time - reading time - piano time - trumpet time - baseball time - swimming time - bike riding time - dog walking/playing time - ANYTHING...
...but you may remember how very much Scout loved the Wii at the Mall of America and that was almost a year go...
...you may also remember that Scout's birthday almost always falls in the middle of our family vacation...
...so we finally agreed to get a Wii - as a family gaming system...
...we'll all play it together - and hopefully have even more family time because of it...
...I think bowling is my favorite - wait - no - tennis...
...I'll have to take a picture of my Mii and introduce you to her...
Bowling is my Wii favorite, too! Enjoy...
ReplyDeleteI've never played anything on Wii. My brother has and say it's so fun that we should get one as a family (of adults) to play! :)
ReplyDeleteHope you guys have fun with it.
I felt the same way, but my friends are all commenting about how they are playing every evening with their kids.
ReplyDeleteSo Uncle Randy is giving the girls one for their birthday. Look at us getting all techie! I even have a REAL cell phone now...no antennae. Crazy!
Wii is all greek to me, lol. I hope you all enjoy your time together.
ReplyDeleteWe've been resistant too, but we've been recently thinking about getting one ...I think it would be fun to do as a family!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are going to have so much fun with your Wii, we love ours! It really is great for family time, my husband and I played quite a bit with my parents when we visited in the Fall :)
ReplyDeleteI've had a couple of goes on a Wii, loved it!
ReplyDeleteNot a bit like the heads down over a console for the next four hours!
You know I was resistant to the idea of a gaming system as well but Wii has been a great addition to our family time and in particular the Big Brain Academy game which fulfills some homeschooling duties!!
ReplyDeleteOwen balances his interest with Wii very well and still reads, plays outside, builds, etc.
How fun! We love playing with Nature Boy's nieces and nephews when they bring it to their gram's house. I'm sure as Wee One gets older he will want one too...and as far as any video games go, Wii has got to be the best, right? Oh I remember the joy of the Atari system that one Christmas myself--enjoy!
ReplyDeleteYes! My parents have one and we all play together, tons of fun!
ReplyDeleteWe have a WII and love it. It's fun in the winter to have friends over and having bowling tournaments and such. The kids play with us and it can make a night at home really fun. Hope you enjoy!
ReplyDeletei'm thinking it will be great for rainy days and below zero days and super windy days . . . :)
ReplyDeletei started reading _the machine_ and will finish it and let you know what i think - an interesting read so far!

ReplyDeleteThe Wii is soo much fun! Especially the bowling and sports ones! The Mi's are funny!
