Cape Cod – Woods Hole Aquarium & Kite-A-Pult

Love
Photo-A-Day #4494

The Kite-A-Pult was sent to us by Tucker Toys for free to play with and review. Opinions are our own.Today we took a break from the beach. Andrew has had enough sun for a while and we decided that the whole family was going to take Eva to Science School this afternoon. While she was in class Allison and I took Andrew over to the Woods Hole Aquarium for a little trip. We hadn’t been yet this season. Our trip was actually one of the longer ones that we’ve done and that ate up plenty of time. Andrew was very excited about all of the fish and really liked the touch tank. He was trying to touch one of the fish in the tank. He was shocked when he actually touched it.

After the aquarium we went over to Coffee Obsession for some cookies and lemonade. Andrew was a bit out of sorts and really tired. He decided that the double chocolate chip cookie that he wanted was not that good so he gave it to me and had mine instead. He didn’t even eat all of it which surprised me. So, when we came home everyone had naps. We all needed it. We were out of our regular routine and were all overtired.

When we woke up I grilled dinner for everyone including Shelby and the cousins. The kids were very excited to play together and have dinner together. A test run for tomorrow night when Eva makes dinner for everyone using the skills she learned at Johnson and Wales. After dinner I took Andrew to the beach to try out the kite-a-pult. More info about that after the video below.

The Kids Review It! Shark Bite from Goliath Games & Pressman Toy

Shark Bite Game
Photo-A-Day #4493

We received a new game from Goliath Games and Pressman Toy to play with and review. The opinions expressed are our own.

Shark Bite is a fun game where players take turns pulling fish out of the mouth of a shark. Play continues until the shark jumps up and chomps his teeth around the fish or the player fishing. I first played the game with Andrew. He and I played out on our front porch and had a great time anticipating who would cause the shark to jump up and bite.

Later on I took the game to the beach to take photos. We did not play there because I did not want to get any sand into the mechanism for the Shark. The kids wanted to play again later tonight and they convinced their auntie to play with them, too while I filmed. She was the one who caused the shark to jump in our video. Eva was scared of the shark jumping but she calmed down as they played. It was funny to watch, though. You can see everything in the video below.

Official Description:
Shark Bite: Get ready to have a REEL-y good time when you play Shark Bite! Players take turns rolling the die and fishing for the colorful sea creatures using the fishing rod. Watch out – you never know when the shark will bite!
