MerWii Christmas
Christmas 2008 was the Christmas we received the Wii game system as a gift. It has been such a fun thing for our family to have, providing lots of good family fun and an excellent way for Fuller to release some energy on rainy or freezing days.
This Christmas it was no surprise that Fuller’s Christmas list included a few Wii games.
Mariokart was a game he had seen at Best Buy once, long ago, and it stuck with him because it was something he could drive. When he saw it on Christmas morning, with his name tag on it, he was thrilled. Apparently he took to the game right away and can do really well when he wants to. Unfortunately that is a game I can’t play with him since it makes me motion sick. Damon however, can earn lots of father-son points with Fuller when they play together.
Fuller also got Wii Resort. This made his list because he had seen it at Luke’s house. Fuller was surprisingly good at the archery and loved the flying he could do.
While Wii games aren’t the only things Fuller got for Christmas, they are definitely the most used right now. Once we start school back up, it will be back to scheduling Wii time and choosing our games carefully.
The wii is a hit here too. We have Wii Resort and Bob and Nick love the flying game but that’s the one that makes me motion sick because they go upside down and loop around. Take it with you to AL so Fuller can play golf against dad. Vivian and Nick were so excited when mom and dad came down so they could play golf against grandpa Albert — Vivian even had it written on her schedule for the day to “beat Albert at golf.”
