My 6-year old nephew Ben regularly checks out Wii games from the Davenport Library. He tells me they have a cool collection of video games. I’ve played Mario Kart with him and had no idea what I was doing. I lost. I’m sure that’s why he loves to play with me. Thanks for offering games, and jigsaw puzzles. Those are more my speed!
Jigsaw puzzles are more my speed, too! I always lose at Wii!
