In past blogs I have posted stories, videos and pictures of us enjoying our newest toy: Wii by Nintendo. This weekend was the most fun we all had thanks to George Lucas' Lucas Arts creativity! Don't know if I ever told you but he used to be a neighbor of mine. I'd see him driving around Marin County in his big blue Hummer - before any of the other celebs bought Hummers and before Hybrids were invented.
Anyhow, back to my story... Terence has a game called Thrillville that he really likes but hasn't been able to figure out completely by himself. This weekend when Riley (11 1/2 years old) and Liam (9 years old) were over, they helped him out with the Thrillville challenges. The object of Thrillville is to build an amusement park that you can make money at. You have to make clever decisions on what to spend money on to attract more customers. As more customers come, pay admission and buy things (ie at the gift shops or restaurants), you make more money which can be spent on more things. They had the most fun building roller coasters. After a roller coaster is successfully built, we get to experience it. The kids were all screaming. I too was feeling a bit nauseous at times as they made them really extreme! It was so fun for all of us to help decide what tracks to put next and how to connect it all together. We'd cheer when we completed a successful roller coaster then scream while riding it! It was so funny. Here are just a couple of photos of the R&D team. Kerry got the real action on video which she will share with me. Of course, it will be posted on my blog!
PS the girls were all upstairs playing with Mia's doll house and playing dress up...
