Kintropy In Action

Several months ago, Robert started talking to me about a new Wii game coming out.  This game he thought would be great for the whole family.  The game was called Beatles Rock Band.  I had seen those Rock Band games and thought they looked fun, but the cost of the guitars and drums seemed prohibitive. Besides, most music things these days have stuff on them I've never heard of.

I thought about it.  We have sung Beatles songs to the kids since they were newborns.  I enjoy singing those songs over and over.  We have been trying to find a way to incorporate Hannah into our gaming time. Robert was right this could be a fun game.

So last week, after telling our kids religious school we could not afford $415.00 per kid to attend Sunday school, we decided to make a more affordable investment in a family cultural activity.  We bought the $140.00 package of Beatles Rock Band.  Its guitar doesn't look like any of the Beatles guitars, but it all works.

When we got home, Robert unpacked the mike and the game and started to play.  As I assembled the drums and guitar, I looked up to see Hannah shaking her head to the beat as she rocked out to it.

Once Robert and I started playing together on it, I could hear Hannah laughing in rapturous gasps.

It's becoming a once a night standard in our house.  Maybe someday I will get beyond 20% with the drums and 40% with the guitar.
