Finally, a video game system I love

What took so long to create the Wii? I'm glad someone did create it though because we're having so much fun with it! We gave the kids a Wii system last Christmas (2007) and it was fun...but this year we added 3 games to our system (at the price of $50 or more per game we tend to wait for big occassions to get them).

Rylie wanted Wii Fit for Christmas and Santa obliged. Nana and Papa Beck sent Wii Music for our trio and Darren and I gave the kids Outdoor Challenge. All 3 games get them up and moving and having so much fun together.

At one point in the day Josh and Rylie were both huffing and puffing and they are in extremely fit condition. Plus the addition of Wii Music had all 3 kiddos forming a band and playing incredible music.

I can't wait to try out Wii Fit although I'm going to have to steel myself for the frankness of the "trainer" - they tell it like it is, and after not much exercise at all for years...I'm sure the news won't be great!

With the additional gift of rechargeable batteries for all 3 remotes... hopefully exercise for the rest of the winter is well taken care of. Since they are outside playing most of the warm weather months, and the Wii seems to disappear back to the basement for those rainy days.. I don't mind how much they use it during the winter.
