Fathers Day –

Posted by dkidwell on June 19th, 2006 — Posted in parenting

Father’s Day is one of my favorite holidays – no pressure and alot of excuse to have fun with the family and do all the things that our own gamerdad, Jack, loves.

We got Jack a Nintendo DS,  the New Super Mario Bros, and a nifty DS sock and shammy.  I think they actually call it a soft case with cloth but we all agreed that sock and shammy had a better ring to it.  He loved them, and we spent a good portion of the day playing the downloadable mulitplayer games (that means you’ve got one copy of the game that host multiple DS systems).  There are a ton of them, and they are very engaging micro-games, including such hilarity as tossing snowballs at one another and using the stylus to create trampolines to jump from.  We also played quite a bit of Mario Kart, also with the downloadable verion.

Cheesecake and Mario – can’t beat it. Hope your dads all had a lovely day as well!
