We started out by playing The Last Word. Please note that this is a word game. And yet I just sat there and stared. Here's my problem with word games (have this problem in Scattergories, too). Once I get a word in my head, it won't leave. So...needless to say...when I finally got my pawn out of start....
...I was pretty happy.From there, we moved on to Wii games. Did you know I had a hidden talent of cow racing?
Oh yes. Well...once I learned how to NOT let him run off the path and knock over trees and ride the fence.
One of the other players had a great run in cow racing...until I broke her winning streak. SWEET!
Bowling...the one thing I feel I can do well...ish.
It was such a fun night. These friends are so much fun to hang out with a couple of times a year. Those of you who know me well know that I am typically quite frightened of games. I don't like to look stupid in front of other people. It's been a growing experience for me these past 3 or 4 years of game nights...to learn to try even when I know I might not win. They're so good to not tease me too much...but yet they give me a good run for my money. The mark of good friends. :)

And they uncovered my secret talents of cow racing. Can't put a price on that.

My children love cow racing, but I look so goofy when I play that game. I jump up and down with the cow and sway side to side. At least I get a good workout=)!
lol, I've never heard of cow racing. If I ever get a Wii, it sounds like that game is a must-buy. :-)
Is it wrong that I'm jealous of your hair? It's so long and pretty these days...
Cow racing sounds like it's right up Emily's alley. What game is that?
Karen - Oh I looked like a complete dork, I'm sure! I jumped up and down too! (one of the games...can't remember which one...I almost fell on the hardwood because my socks slipped!)
Sarah - I'd never done cow racing until this game night - but it was FUN. The hockey game I played frustrated me because the sensor was extra sensitive. That's how I ended up scoring goals for myself AND my opponent. LOL
Christina - THANK YOU!!! That makes my day so happy! I have been working so hard to grow it (you know - because I have so much to do with that) - and it's frustrated me into nearly chopping it so many times. Now it's finally long enough that I'm happy with it. Not done growing yet, though.
In cow racing, you hold your remote sideways with both hands. you tip it forward to start the cow running down the path, tip it left and right so he can make the turns, and when you come to a hurdle, you lift it up (or jump with it) to get him over the hurdle. The goal is to collect points by knocking down scarecrows and to NOT get off the path. Em would LOVE IT
I cannot do cow racing. I try and I try....
Bowling and tennis are better!
But only on Wii.
SMILE
Tsofah - Tennis got me the next day - I felt it allllll down my neck!!
I LOVE the 100-pin bowling on Wii Sports Resort! But the muscle soreness is an issue.
After the first couple times, my left gluteus muscle was sore.
Then yesterday, the muscles behind my right armpit were sore. But it sounds stupid to say you've got sore muscles from Wii Bowling...
