[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 160587, member: 1991"] Sara, DDR is something BF1 gave easy child for her birthday, just last weekend. I didn't see them playing with it because I was busy in the kitchen at the time. When we bought our Wii, it also came with Wii Sports. We found the bowling to be a good family activity, especially me & husband because neither of us has the strength to do it physically with a bowling ball; plus the noise in those alleys is a big problem. A couple of weeks ago when difficult child 3 had to go in to his school for an exam, we got there two hours early and checked out the op-shop nearby. difficult child 3 rummaged through the toys area and found a box of accessories for Wii Sport - the bits of plastic you can attach to the nun-chuks and remote to turn them into a tennis racquet, a baseball bat, a golf club, etc and it looked brand new. They sold it to us for $2. We just got mother in law up on the thing again today to test her coordination. She couldn't do the exercise that asked her to balance on one leg, but did well otherwise. I've been doing the step aerobics again today and had to chuckle - the screen shows me doing it with mother in law alongside. We had a lot of fun making the Mii's, although we can't get girlfriend's Mii right. The options do include Asian eyes, but not Maori eyes. Think - how would you do a Mii for Liv Tyler? She has a similar face. Today difficult child 3 was invited to his friend's house to play (computer games). I've invited them around tomorrow to play some Wii Fit. We already have a Mii for the friend, I need to get difficult child 3 to make one for his mother. I like the sound of the backpack, Adrianne. We have an old briefcase that husband fished out of the skip at work, I think it was originally used to transport laptop plus extras, it's been OK for the Wii. difficult child 3 has been doing a lot of working out with this - over an hour last night and again this morning, including press-ups. He says his balance has been improving - this seems to really help a lot, the various games/tests seem to be working on his overall coordination. I am so glad we got this gizmo. I can use it as a bribe, and still know he's working towards something I would otherwise have to nag him to do - exercise. It's a great group activity, as we can watch each other and support each other as well. Marg [/QUOTE]
