The Bee Game

For Christmas 2007, Miriam received the "Bee Game". She loved it. We loved to watch her play, but not so much to play with her. And the music definitely needed a mute option. Somewhere along the line, the batteries ran out and whenever Miriam asked if she could play it, we could honestly answer that we didn't have the right kind of batteries("C"). So, for Christmas 2008, Miriam (with zero brainstorming help for us) chose to give Tammy a package of "C" batteries! She is so sweet and thoughtful. Now the Bee Game is up and running again. The music is still too loud, but this year Henry is big enough to play with her, which makes for great fun and lots of laughter.

We hope you enjoy this clip of the Bee Game which also demonstrates a few of the special effect capabilities of our cool, new video editing program.

Okay, spill the beans. What is this wicked cool video editing software you are using?
p.s. Your kids play adorably together.
p.s.s. It was great to see you in the Big Apple.

Corel Video Studio 12. It's got some fun features, though you really have to come up with creative excuses to use them all. Thank goodness they play well together because Miriam used to make us play the Bee game and running around in circles gets old really fast. And of course it was good to see you, too. ;)

Tiffany, if you're really interested, the game is called "Honeybee Hop". The box says Playskool and "Kid Motion" on it. This was a grandparent gift, so I don't actually know where they purchased it. It doesn't spin on carpet, which means that my kids play it on the tile floor in the kitchen while I am cooking dinner. It's nice entertainment, but did I mention that it's loud!

Whoa--that was really something! I've never heard of the Bee game, but it looks extremely entertaining. You have darling kids.
