Racing

Amanda loves Mario Kart in all its forms. She is a bit competitive in it as well. A little something I'm sure she picked up coming from such a large family. Zack has now found great amusement in watching/playing it as well. Ruthann, Amanda's brother Joel's fiancee, recently purchased the new incarnation of this game for the Nintendo Wii. She and Amanda played it once and Amanda was hooked. We soon went out and got it, as well as some fun steering wheels. Being as interactive as the Wii is you can really drive. Amanda and Zack have logged a few hours playing it and Joel has come over to unlock things for Amanda to play as well. Amanda always has her favorite tracks that she likes to play on (I just think it's that ones that she does really well at). Zack also has his favorite characters and tracks that he likes to "play" as well. So much so, that Amanda ends up disappointing him by choosing other tracks to race. He quickly gets over it and chooses to help Amanda race. It's loads of fun for the whole family, not to mention a lot of fun to watch.
