Skylanders, Video Game

Skylanders and #RioOlympics2016

CYOS Opening Ceremony Torch

With the Olympic Games begining today the Skylanders are getting into the celebration. They created their own version of the Olympic Torch using the new Skylanders Imaginators character creator. This next version of Skylanders is going to be endless int he possibilities for creation, I cannot wait to play. But, since it comes out in October I do have to wait. While I wait through, there are a some activities that the folks from Skylanders have sent to me to do and also to share with you. First are some fun coloring pages that feature fan favorites like Spyro, Eruptor, Stealth Elf and also newcomer King Pen. King Pen is a new Sensei for Skylanders Imaginators.

You can click on each of the links below to download the coloring pages and also download the Create Your Own Athlete page. For the Create Your Own Athlete Page you can color the shorts and jersey in your country’s colors and then add those to one of the Skylanders of your choosing. Use the Coloring Pages that say 2DV for a picture that works best with the athletic accessories.

In addition to the coloring pages there is another fun promotion going on with Skylanders. Continue reading Skylanders and #RioOlympics2016 →

Playground, More Mail, Our Not So Perfect Life

Often I cut out those things that are less than perfect in my videos and blog posts. With my Stare Down the Wolf post and video I sort of tossed that out the window and so today’s video shows one of those life moments where things aren’t going so great.

I had to go home from the Cape today. I wanted to do something with the kids and there wasn’t much time to go and do a water balloon fight (which we are going to do next week, I have a ton of Bunch’O Balloons to use) and it was early to hit the beach. I decided that we head over to the playground near the library for a fun morning playing. The playground is great, it has a bunch of fun parts to it. For the most part the kids had fun and were awesome. Then I wanted to get some video on the swings. This became a problem. Andrew was so unhappy that his sister could swing so much higher than he could. She has learned how to swing well and she’s also 4 years older. He got very frustrated and started crying on the swings. Normally I’d stop filming but this time I just let it roll.

After some time at the Cape house I headed home through very light traffic. I’m glad I wasn’t going the other way because it was already backing up. When I got home there were three boxes waiting for me. One form Netflix, another from Speck and another from Playmates Toys. I open them all on the vlog.
