Well, at least I can&#8217;t really remember ever bowling a 147, but it&#8217;s been a while since I actually bowled so maybe I have.  I&#8217;m looking forward to learning how to play tennis.  And there are plans for versions of Dance, Dance Revolution and Animal Crossing.  Could be fun!<\/p>\n<p>My sister-in-law Jeannie was the one who found them, because she was looking for one for herself.  So she brought home two Wiis, and we had fun cracking jokes about &#8220;oui, oui!&#8221; and &#8220;wee, wee, wee, wee, all the way home&#8221;.  OK, it was funny last night, anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Anyone out there have a Wii?  Any suggestions for a really good starter game for a 2 1\/2 year old who&#8217;s never played a video game in her life?  I imagine we can help her figure out the bowling, since my 4 year old niece was getting pretty good at it last night, but it&#8217;s always nice to have other options.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a completely impulsive moment, we bought ourselves a Wii.
