Just a Little Bowling in the Livingroom!

While My sister and Nephew were here, they were turned on to the JOY that is the Wii!!!!

What a wonderful, friendly, cousin filled evening...

What a wonderful bunch of competitive, smiley children...

Memories!

I find the Wii to be platform for a myriad of wonderful family memories...

We challenge each other to bowling, golf, and baseball...we can compete in the Olympics...and right now, the favorite, all around, is car racing in Mario Kart.

When else could my, just turned, three-year old, five year old and my sixteen year old play on the same level of a game, and laugh, and roll on the ground in pure belly laughs.

Where else would a daddy be able to play right next to his five year in a round of golf...AND...get his pants beaten off of him!

When else might you see a husband and wife compete in an Olympic Race (in their living room) running as fast as possible and laughing and squealing the whole time as though they were back in Middle school, for the pure competition of it all.

I have never been a proponent of video games, EVER...but...in it's very limited quantity that we allow...this has been nothing but GOOD in our living room!

Ahhhh...and...it is a great bribe for bedroom cleaning...staying in bed at night...and a great reminder to stay well-behaved at a store.
