Double Rainbow
Photo-A-Day #4133

I got to work tonight and everyone was looking out the windows at a huge double rainbow. It hadn’t rained much around work but in the outlying areas there were people who got downpours. I tried to capture the whole thing but it was just too big and it didn’t look great through the windows.

I started watching The Last Kingdom today on Netflix. This is a show that was on BBC and is based on The Saxon Stories books by Bernard Cornwell. I have read some Bernard Cornwell books about King Arthur and so I was interested in this series. The show is pretty well done. First season is on Netflix now with 8 episodes and apparently the second season has Netflix co-producing. I like that. I watched the first two episodes so far and it is an enjoyable show. It makes me want to read the books, too.

I did not sleep very well. I kept waking up over and over. I’d have thought that I would have slept great with a quiet house but that was not the case. When I woke up I opened another box that I received this week and also a game that I have been meaning to review. You can catch that on today’s vlog.

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 →
