Wow, I wouldn't have pegged you as the gamer type.


I got a Garmin handheld submersible GPS/VHF radio for the yak and a certificate for a beer dinner at Jimmy's Pub from the wifey. She did good this year.

The best thing about Christmas for me was waching my son's face after every single present he opened. At one point, he stopped and looked up at the ceiling while holding his arms out and said "Thank you so much Santa, I love everything!". It was nice to see him being really grateful and not just ripping boxes open and moving on to the next present.

just recently, never played any growing up. Once we got the wii, I've really enjoyed the combat games. There a great stress relief.

Are the combat games on Wii really graphic? J loves shooting and blowing stuff up. I bought him the Wii last year for his B-Day but didn't give it to him because he was already getting too much stuff. We (Santa) gave it to him for Christmas and he's having a blast with it. Mom and dad are having fun with it, too.

I HIGHLY reccomend Wii lego star wars the complete saga. Its violent in a non-violent sort of way. You get to blow stuff up, battle with light sabers - but its lego characters. So its not bloody. There is a lot of humor in it. Its a lot of problem solving passing from level to level so it has some educational components. Each area has different missions and you need to figure them out. It follows the basically story lines of the movies. I love it and so do my kids. Hours and hours of playing time. It was a big hit a few years ago and now its very cheap. I think I paid less than $20 bucks for it.
Wii lego Harry Potter is the same thing, awesome game for kids and adults.
The combat games (call of duty) are very violent and has the F word every few minutes. It may be suitable for the children of DD coffee drinkers but not most evolved people......

He asked about the Lego Star Wars for Wii. We have it on my old PS2 and he would still go back and play it every once in a while. I'm sure it's better on Wii. We gave him Lego Batman and he really likes that so far. I also got him a hunting game with the orange gun where you shoot deer and other animals. He hasn't tried it yet, but maybe I'll play it with him tonight. It looks pretty vilolent, which is good for us less evolved neanderthal types. We also gave him the sports resort and he loves the sword fighting game on that. You can slice people in half, but there's no blood.

I was never much for video games. I abhor them! My kids love them but I prefer more rewarding pastimes! Hands on and outdoor activities.

Almost time to get our fish on!!!
