Whee it's a Wii!

Craig got up really early last Sunday to get in line for a Nindendo Wii. Fortunately for him, Target had 63 of them so he finally got his Wii! We've been playing Rayman Raving Rabbids (not Rabbits), which is fun but doesn't really show the true multiplayer capability of the Wii.

Friday night, Timin, Chris, and Matt came over for a Wii party. Timin brought SSX Blur, which is awesome! I will be buying a copy of that as soon as I get my next paycheck. All I can say is wow! Sure, they reuse a couple of levels from SSX 4, but they added dinosaurs which more than makes up for it. In terms of multiplayer functionality though, it's fine for two players racing, but that's it.

So, we broke out Raving Rabbids (I really like shooting plungers at rabbits and flinging cows!) and Wii sports. My arms are still sore. Since you are physically moving your body to play the Wii, if you play enough, you do get a bit of a workout. However, if you have five adults in a room, it is a good idea to be sure you have enough room around you. Timin accidentally smacked Chris while playing Wii tennis.

Chicks!

Craig took this picture of the robin chicks this morning. 3 of the 4 eggs in the nest hatched. We noticed the fourth egg on the ground earlier this week. These three seem to be doing pretty well, and their mother is bringing them worms and other food on a regular basis. Of course, she doesn't appreciate us on the deck while she's feeding the babies, so we try to accommodate her as best as we can. I am happy to see that they are finally starting to look cute.
