Slice of Life # 63~ Games Kids Play

Well it has been awhile since I have written for Slice of Life.  I took a family vacation for a month and fell of the weekly writing experience.  So I am back!


Growing up I remember playing red-rover, London Bridges, sorry, Life, Risk, Monopoly,Candy Land, extra....
I remember getting a computer in our home when they first came out for home ownership.  I remember playing Organ Trail, and a few other games.  Then when I was 11 my family moved and my dad needed to take our home computer to his office and use there, so since it was Christmas time, we got the original Nintendo with Donky Kong, Mario Brother, Duck Hunt and later we got Tetris.  I remember spending hours playing Tetris.

We never upgraded our system, and I don't know what happened to it.  I just remember I got busy as a High school student and stopped playing.

Many years later, I meet my husband who had a PS2 and loved to play video games, but didn't have much that I enjoyed.  Then we got Lego Star Wars and I started playing.  Then the new systems's came out and they quit making games for the PS2 so a few month's ago (just before they dropped in price) we bought a Wii.  Even though we would have loved a PS3 we felt that with the ages of our kids the Wii had more games for them to enjoy too.  We have collected all of the Lego Games wither it is PS2 or Wii (we have kept our PS2 as it still works).  Our recent additions have been Harry Potter Years 1-4 and Parites of the Carribine.  I have even put down a hold for Harry Potter Years 5-7 which will be out in time for Christmas and will be our family Christmas gift this year.  Dillon is mastering all of these games, and I am slowly putting in time playing them as they are fun for me too.  We did just finally buy a 2nd controller so now we can have more fun! :)

See you next week on Slice of Life!
