Hangin' with the Grandparents, playing some Wii

For my Grandpa Don's birthday this year, my dad and Aunt Meri got him a Wii. The thought was that since the games require movement, they would keep Grandpa active and entertained during his recuperation from having his pacemaker replaced.

So this weekend, David and I went to Florida for a Hanukkah visit and hooked up the system for them. After a few minutes of instruction, Grandma and Grandpa were playing like pros.

First we tried Tennis, which was fun but a little hard to coordinate. Then we discovered bowling which everyone loved

Here are two videos from our day of Wii Sports.

Later on, Grandpa and David were feeling adventurous, so they tried out the baseball game. Below is a picture of David pitching the ball to Grandpa who is at bat.

We also spent time this weekend with David's Grandma Sara and Grandpa Joe in Fort Lauderdale, as well as my Grandma Ruth and Grandpa Paul in Delray Beach. We showed Sara and Joe how to Skype and they saw their Great Grandson Benjamin live for the first time. It was a very nice weekend and as always, it was great to spend time with our grandparents.
