Anniversary Dinner

Today we celebrated our 14th Wedding Anniversary. My mother offered to watch the kids so we had a free night. We went in to Providence to try out New Rivers. I asked our friend Aaron for a recommendation because he and his wife always seem to find the best places to go in the area. This was a very good recommendation. We had an excellent meal in a great little restaurant. The food was so good. Allison got scallops and I got a sirloin. The presentation was beautiful and flavors were delicious. We had an excellent time and also enjoyed some great dessert as well. Allison had a lemon curd tart and I had a pot de creme with a lemon rosemary biscotti.

Zing sent me an amazing influencer pack for their HyperStrike Bows for free to add to my Holiday Gift guide. Opinions are my own. These bows are rated for 14+ but we decided that our children have taken archery lessons with real bows and arrow so they could play with these.

The kids have been playing with ZING bows for a very long time. In fact today after we went and did a capture the flag game with the HyperStrike bows I saw in my Facebook memories that six years ago Eva and I were using Zing bows in our Backyard Monster Hunt. We did a few Monster hunts and even did that for Eva’s 6th birthday. There have been a lot of changes in that time, especially with Eva. Here she is six years apart.

While Eva has grown up in that time Zing has also made improvements to their toys. The new HyperStrike bows are incredible and can launch darts up to 250ft. We were shooting them across a giant field around the corner from our house. The arrows that we received had embedded whistles in them so you could hear them coming. Luckily Zing also sent us masks to protect our faces. The masks were great, too because they fit over my glasses. I could actually see what I was shooting at! Check out our video below.

Introducing HyperStrike, a breakthrough in backyard battle from Zing. Designed with patented loop-and-launch technology, these high-performance bows can launch its whistle arrows over 250 ft.! Available now in orange carbon, green camo, blue (Target exclusive), and red (Costco exclusive).
