I never did post about our new Wii and the relationship that we are beginning to have with the box of plastic and silicon chips.

It has been a great time and all the family seems to be enjoying the Wii. On Christmas day we unpacked the box and hooked it up and just played a bit and then were out doing family stuff all day and into the night. On Boxing day (December 26th) we finally got to play the Wii lots and had a  great time taking turns with the sports games of the Wii Sports disk.

In Wii Sports there are Tennis, Golf, Bowling, Baseball and Boxing as well as a Wii Training, which is practicing for any of those sports and Wii Fitness which is a test that the Wii puts you through to see how good you are at using the controllers and your coordination.

Looking to make a change and lose some weight? I have reviewed the top diet on the internet and you can go and read over 200 comments people have made about why this diet has worked well for them, as well as some of the problems.

Yesterday my family and I went bowling. My wife and I have not bowled in years and my six year old daughter has only bowled a couple of times. My son who is three has never bowled…and it showed.

Anyway, after we finished our bowling my wife asked if I thought bowling was good exercise, I have to admit that I think that bowling is barely exercise and a quick look at the pro bowlers tour will probably bear this out pretty quickly.

What bowling is though is a lot of fun. In northern climates when you can get trapped in the house because of the weather it is really nice to get out and do something, in this case it was at the mall. Bowling is a little bit expensive as an outing surprisingly but we still had a really great time as a family and laughed until we hurt.
