Teen Game Day
Wow! Was that ever fun! We played Mario Kart, Supersmash Brothers Melee and Brawl, Naruto, Wii Sports, and Wii Rockband ALL DAY LONG. We had over 30 people show up and play and eat and have loads of fun!
I hope I'll see you all again and again!
Don't forget - we usually do a Game Day or a Movie Day (or both) over Spring Break, so check back and see what's going on when.
I'm on vacation this week, until next Monday, so don't expect to see too much in the way of updates before then...
