Seanii and the Wii

Sean is really, really good at bowling on the Wii. The funny thing is that he has no idea what he is doing. Most of the time he throws the ball backwards and makes all the spectators jump. Knowing him, I am not completely sure that he doesn't do this on purpose. He thinks it is so funny and even ten or twenty times later he is still giggling!

I tried to capture the different parts of his bowling technique. When you see the pictures, you will never know how this kid gets the ball to go anywhere even close to the pins. But he does - his high score is 203! He gets strikes all of the time and picks up spares left and right. He really likes the Power Bowl in the practice area and has earned himself a bronze medal in that!

I think the only thing crazier than his bowling is his golf game. He hits the ball so well; he just seems to have the touch. Well, that is when he is not trying to hit it into the water on purpose. This he also finds funny ten or twenty times later. It is fun for him when he is playing alone, but when you are playing against him and he takes ten shots into the water on every hole it can get pretty annoying pretty quickly!

Sean's new found game is another practice one - the shooting range. He laughs so hard at the alien ships trying to pick up the mii people that he can barely play the game. Even I laugh at this. If you have never seen it, you have to shoot alien space ships before they come and pick up people that are running around hysterical. When they catch the people, they pick them up by their heads and the people make the weirdest sound and the flounder around. As usual, it is never a boring time with Sean - even watching the same Wii game over and over!

Note the snow boots – maybe that is his secret weapon!
