Family Vacation 2007

This year we were really limited on vacation possiblities because of Jeremy's school. He only has one break and that's not even guaranteed (last year's class did not get a break until Christmas), so it's really hard to plan anything in advance. He will definitely be able to take a break this year, but we could not all agree on a trip to take at the last minute. If you haven't already figured it out we're the planning type, even the kids! So we decided to buy a new big screen tv and a Nintendo Wii instead. That all sounded great until we went looking for a Wii and realized they are still in super high demand and they're really hard to find. Yesterday, we went looking again because I felt bad that the kids had to go furniture shopping all day and we actually found one. We were leaving Target with no luck when Bailey asked if we could stop by Game Stop. I thought this would be a huge waste of time since anyone who went to Target would go there too, but we went anyway. Gamestop had one left and the guy at the counter said no matter how many they get they sell out in less than 30 minutes and we just happened to be at the right place at the right time. The kids were so excited until I told them they couldn't use it until Jeremy got home from school. I know that's mean, but I thought since it was our "family vacation" we should at least wait for all the family. Jeremy ended up getting home around 9:00 and we stayed up until 1:00!! It is so much fun!! I'm really glad we got it. I know it's not a normal comment from a mom about a video game, but the Wii is super interactive (as you can see from the pictures). I had to post the picture of Jeremy and Bailey boxing. Bailey is our boxing champion ~ KO both Jeremy and Riley and I suppose I'm next:) Riley just had to take a picture of the screen as Jeremy's guy got knocked out which he thought was pretty funny until Bailey beat him too.
