Hula Hoops

Did you ever try a Hula Hoop when you were younger? I always thought they were the coolest thing. I would try and try and have always been totally amazed at all those really cool people who could make it work right. Unfortunately, I am not one of those people.

A few days ago I had the opportunity to try wii fit. One of the activities on it is a Hula Hoop challenge where you start off just using one hula hoop, swaying your hips (virtually...watching your mii [= self] on the TV screen) and then eventually people begin throwing hula hoops at you that you are to try & catch over your head. I thought I would finally be able to redeem myself. Unfortunately, I failed and you know, that stinking mii mocked me! It was just like 1st grade recess all over again.

Wanting some company, trying not to be the only nerd in the room, I talked Adam in to partaking of the challenge.
He wasn't too pleased to be captured digitally.


But he did prove to be quite good at the challenge.


He even managed to catch a number of hula hoops over his head. GO ADAM!

We don't have the wii fit yet. But should the time come that we do own it. I think I'll be practicing the hula hoop a lot...in private.
