Wii Showdown....Grandparent Style

So Grandma and Grandpa were in Chicago visiting with the Big City dwellers and thought it might be fun to get in on a little of this Wii action with the grandkids. After all, they're only 6 and 7, how good could they be?
There was great anticipation as Fuzz, Player, Squakasaur and Zander lined up for the first match. Engines roared, smack talk echoed from the speakers of iPhones and they were off.

There were certainly moments when the races were interesting (for the first 100 yards) and times that the boys felt threatened by the experience and skill of the Ft. Wayne driving team (on the starting line). The races were close (until the end of the first lap) and sweat poured from the boys brows (from all the celebrating), but in the end it was the little Cheek boys (terror on wheels team) that made their entry (through the gate they built)to the world of Mario Kart Wii know to all on this day. They look forward to the next challenge (beatdown) and hope that the City Folk can bring their A game (only game) again.

In fairness, Squaky and Zander were defeated a couple times. It was usually b/c their Dad wanted to get into the action. The boys, being well aware of records, point accumulation and the thrill of winning, did not let Dad play for long. If only there were scholarships for Wii play, I might open up the game for practice during the week. But, for now it's a weekend only event, looked forward too so much that Friday has been re-named Super Wiiday in our house. Ahhhh... to be 6 again.
