We got a Wii

Santa Claus visited our house early and brought us a Wii!  We are so excited! If you don't have one yet you should get one! That is, if you can find them in the stores.  The system comes with a sports game that includes: Golf, bowling, tennis, baseball, and boxing.  To do these sports you have to do the actual movements.  In doing this, we learned very fast how out of shape our arms are.  Chris was the first one to play and decided to try out the baseball. It was so funny watching him swing the bat and pitch the ball.  You can't just half do it, you have to swing just as hard as you would a normal bat during a game. Make sure you have plenty of room around you or you might end up knocking someone out.  Jordan and I were had a turn next. The first thing we did was play bowling and he scored a 152! He beat me by about 20 points.  It is not that difficult of a game but a blast to play.  You can play a total of 4 people and yes, you can get gutter balls.  I think I was the first to discover that.  Santa also brought us Mario Kart.  We crashed, I mean raced, several times and then Chris said it was time for bed.  We had a blast, but it was almost 3 hours past Jordan's bedtime.  The next day I decided to try something new.  We hooked our Wii up to our Wifi and I raced against 11 people from all over the country.  I came in last place every time but it was fun anyway.  I hope before long I will be winning every race!  I can't wait to get more games and make more friends to play against.  If you have a Wii please give me your code so we can play each other.  I have put our Wii code on my Socnets page. I look forward to challenging you.  Also, if you are planning a trip to the Cotter house anytime soon you better be ready to play.  Do you arm curls now! Below are a few pictures of Jordan and Chris enjoying our new toy.
