My family has quite the pasttime of late, and it is called Wii bowling!
I know, we are sooo 2009. Really, we’ve enjoyed it since we got our Wii over two years ago, but it’s had a real renaissance in the Rapson house within the last couple months. Both the big kids are pretty good, they’ve both even had (and subsequently lost) their “PRO” status. The day Sophie got her PRO was like, the best day of her life!
A night at “Rapson Lanes” features trash-talking, Turkeys, spares, strikes, and the occasional total miss – but almost never a gutter ball. We’re actually kinda good – if you take the ages of the players into account! We always have a great time playing together, even if Daddy ALWAYS wins.
And even if we have a really tiny TV!
I love my nerdy little Wii bowling family. Sophie and I play together all the time in the afternoon when Jonah is asleep, Joshua is at school, and Bobby is at work. Just two girls kickin’ it with their cartoon alter egos and some shiny bowling balls. Sometimes we even turn on the Yo Gabba Gabba channel on Pandora and REALLY light up the in-house bowling alley with our sweet dance/bowling moves. We know how to have F-U-N! And it’s great that it’s something we’re all always up for.
What’s your favorite family game to play?
