I haven’t had much time to play with Eva alone lately. With school and dance and everything else we haven’t had any time together. So, today after school I took eva and the Mobo Cruiser over to Capron Park so that she could ride it around and try it out. She has only sat in it so far and I wanted to see what she thought of it and how she would do on it. She was shaky at first. She was complaining about her legs hurting and her knees hurting but that was only because she hasn’t done any real exercise in a while. She runs around for gym but nothing too substantial. This was a different movement for her and I knew it would just take a little while before she would be a pro. She was the same way with roller skating last month and by the end of the night she wanted to go over and over again.
I thought we’d go once around the park but we ended up going 2 1/2 times because she really started to enjoy it, as I expected. She still needs to learn to gradually apply the brake and to steer with a little more subtlety. She was flinging herself this way and that. I also need to add some air to the tired but she did really well on her first real outing.
The Mobo Cruiser was sent to us for review and play. Opinions are 100% our own and we will be using it much more this Summer on the Cape.
Today I got a HUGE delivery from STOK Grills. I got nearly their entire line of inserts plus a Quattro grill and sweet grill cover. I have been a bit obsessed with STOK Grills for a while now. I see them in Target and I stop and check them out. I marvel at all the different inserts that there are for the grill and I think of all the great grilling possibilities I would have if I had the system. So I began to pursue them online and offer a proposal in exchange for a grill and all the inserts.Well, they sent me nearly all the inserts and a new grill. Opinions of everything related to STOK Grills are 100% my own. So, be on the lookout for not only blog posts with recipes and mouth-watering photos of the things I will be grilling but also videos. When I’m done talking about this grill and all the accessories we will all be experts.
So what came in the mail today? Well, I got the STOK QUATTRO™ 4-BURNER GAS GRILL and I didn’t realize it but that came with a griddle, pizza stone and vegetable tray insert. I had also asked for those so now I can do two pizzas at once and tons of pancakes and breakfast food at the same time. Don’t even get me started about how many veggies I can prepare at one time.
I met the FedEx guy with a dolly and we put the grill right onto the back patio. I then took everything out and laid out all the parts, cut down the big box to use as a work surface, grabbed my toolkit and started assembly. I was home with Andrew and he wasn’t napping today so he was my “helper”. I am a bit obsessive compulsive and I have not had my very own brand new gas grill ever so I wanted to make sure that everything was done exactly right. That meant no scratches and other imperfections. I had to take tools away from Andrew over and over. Finally he got his plastic screwdriver from his outside tool bench and helped. At least with that he wasn’t going to hurt himself or scratch anything. Continue reading I am so STOKed!→
