Wii Sports

Our Thursday Night dinner group met at the White's house last week for burgers on the grill! Sawyer and his little friend Jack were enthralled with the Wii. They loved swinging the controllers around and having it do what they wanted to do maybe half the time!

Their favorite game was the jockey race.....the point of the game is to get your horse to run around the track and not basically not hit anything.....but Sawyer and Jack just kept ramming their horses into the fence over and over and over!! They would take a running start and just collide right into the fence and would wonder why they had to start over :) It was just so funny!

Up till that evening, Sawyer had shown zero interest in the Wii that we have at home.....but since then it's been getting some pretty good use!

Side note: we were at The Amazing Pizza Machine last year for Sawyer's Birthday with Bill's family playing all those different arcade/steal all your money games, when Bill goes, "Hey come here, I'm going to play this game and win that Wii." We're all thinking, "Suuuure Bill......" It was one of those electronic games that has all the really cool expensive prizes hanging in the glass case that you have to push the button as the digital cubes fly by and build up a perfect stack as the pace increases each time.....normally one of the biggest rip off games ever....but no, not this time. Bill sits down, plays one time and wins! The manager was pretty surprised that he actually beat the game and told him, "Pick your prize!" Meanwhile his parents and I are just standing there like, "What in the world just happened?!?"
