It’s a hard choice to decide which is more important- a stay at an Orlando vacation home or buying the next generation video game consoles. While a vacation would certainly be nice, the gaming system would be wonderful as well. Games relax me as they give me a break from the rigmarole of daily life. Plus when I play games I feel more creative. Some of my best writing comes after jamming on Guitar Hero for a few minutes.

The Nintendo Wii is definitely the first next gen console that is on our shopping list. The price is a huge factor but playing the Wii is so much fun. Next will probably be the Xbox 360 as the husband has already mentioned the November release of Halo 3 will be here before we know it. Since we just got a PlayStation 2, the PS3 is not even tempting to me right now. Perhaps that will change in the future as it hopefully drops in price.

While the game system would be spectacular, there is nothing like getting away from home for a few days. I will have to weigh the pros and cons carefully.

Zimbbos! is a game that can be played by children as young as three years old. Players take turns stacking elephants onto a pyramid. The person to place the 10th elephant wins the game.

Zimbbos! is made by Blue Orange Games and features colorful playing pieces. Kids can learn coordination, patience, and their numbers since elephants must be stacked in numerical order.

Zimbbos! is a nice game for the very young since it’s simple and features tasks that they can do.
