Wii gets fit!

Ahhh, summertime. That time when you should allow your kids to rest, yet enrich their minds. OR if you live with me, a time to stay up late, eat junk food and play games when we are not out in the sun and fun. (Seeing as there has been very little sun, we are doing a lot more inside "fun" here.) And what is the power game of choice? Wii! (And, no, I do not work for them, am not being paid by them and am gaining nothing by telling you how much I enjoy the Wii we have. Just in case someone decides they want to get all up in my grill about it. I'm just saying, I like it. Mikey likey!)

Here is the Queen of Our Wii holding court.

I have to admit, there are times I kick the kids off to play myself. I have fun with the Wii Sports and the Wii Play. In fact, here are some pictures of the whole family playing at the beach when it was either raining or everyone was too sunburned to go back out into the blazing Florida sun. Do you Wii? What is your favorite game?

I think I am in love with a new game coming out soon. I learned about it from E3 and found this video of it from the conference at Gametrailers. I am so going to get my hands on this one: Wii Fit. Check out that yoga, baby. Now that will be worth all of the YouTube payback videos that my sons post of me. Because trust me when I say both of my boys will love getting even that way. Take a look for yourself and tell me what you think. I think it is going to be a lot of Fit Fun!

In the extended entry you can see it in action.

Wii like to party!

Oh, yes, my friends, I am the proud and thrilled owner of an amazingly fun Wii. Look at how pretty she is:

I kiss it. I tried to sleep with it, but Clint got upset with the blinking, bonking and blipping.

It came with the Sports package.

• Play Tennis, Baseball, Golf, Bowling and Boxing in the comfort of one's living room. No ball boys scurrying about, no oil from the alleys to get players dirty and no rain to keep anyone from a day at the court, park or course. Use the Wii Remote controller to mimic the actions of swinging a racket, bat or club, roll a ball down an alley or bring the left jab.

• Players can use their own Mii caricatures in the game and play them against their friends' Miis for a more personalized experience. As players improve, their Miis' skill levels will increase, so that they can see exactly how much better they've become.

• People of all skill levels can pick up and play any of the games in the unprecedented Wii Sports package, making this truly a title for everyone!

And yes, I did get it sent to me free. Full disclosure here, people. Of course, I couldn't accept it if I was in an ad network, but on this blog, I am ad free! Go ad free! Go free stuff! God Bless you Nintendo. I will bronze my first Wii controller and keep it on the mantle beside the bronze baby shoes I have. And a special shout out to my main Wii man who got me the hook-up. I would give out your name, but then everyone would hound you for free Wii's. But know that I adore you and think you just might be a hero to me by getting my family to all play the same game in the same room at the same time. Bless you, my new friend.

I will be writing all about the fun we have here as well as funny stories and pictures on Mommy Needs Coffee about the gaming fun we have. .

Now that I have disclosed that I got this free and have no intention of sending it back, I am free to talk about it. Don't hate me because I got this free. Who knows, I just may try to hook you up. Or invite you to a Wii party.
