Nintendo Wii

The 4th of July weekend posed too many possibilities. First we were offered to go to the Anderson family campout/cook out. Second we were invited to go ride a yacht up and down the Ohio River. It was such a difficult decision, but we wanted to do both. Sadly, it didn't end up that way.

So Thursday we packed up, including 2 dogs, and drove to Columbus, Ohio to meet Uncle Butch at his hotel. We hung out that night and really didn't do anything. Friday we wake up to prepare to go to the Ohio and it is raining. We decide not to go and instead they bring up playing the Wii. Since these consoles are such prized commodities right now, we figured we'd not be able to buy one. I call all over Columbus, Ohio including the Game Stops and Wal Marts. Butch says, "What about Meijer?" So I choose a Meijer randomly out of the phone book. They had 4! We race over there and Butch buys one and so do we. We get back to the room and bowl all day/night. It was almost hard to leave for dinner.

Saturday the rest of the group--Scott, Marcia, Butch, and Taunya-- prepare to go to the river and we prepare to head back to Indiana. On our way home we stop and get a few other games and accessories, and play all night long. Let's just say I'm addicted to Guitar Hero III and doing quite well at it!

On another note, Wednesday of this week I'm going to go work in my classroom and had volunteered to help with registration.... yes I did say registration in July. I start back to work on July 18th and the students are back on July 21st. I'm not so sure I'm ready. I really like not having to work, but still brining in a nice pay check!
