Field Trip in Fedoras

I went along to Andrew’s Field Trip today. We went to a local farm called Adams Farm in Cumberland Rhode Island. I’ve been there many times with the kids and the Kindergarten Field Trip is always a highlight! This year was the best ever. The farm was looking great, the Corn Maze was HUGE, compared to past years, and Andrew had so much fun. The dapper little dude informed me that we were both wearing Fedoras for the trip. When your four-year-old tells you to wear a fedora for the field trip, you gotta say yes.

And get this! He’s FOUR and he’s all about his friends. He had one in particular today that he wanted to hold hands with. This kid is a smooth one. He just walked right up to her and asked if they could hold hands. BAM! This kid has confidence! They held hands the whole way through the corn maze and through much of the day.

It was a fun field trip to go on. I am glad that I was around to be a part of it. It kills me that I’m going to miss out on Dad’s night next week because of the Doctor Strange trip, but at least my Dad will be taking him and they can have fun together.

For most of the afternoon I made some

Being a #3DSKidForADay on the Play Nintendo Tour 2016

Pizza and Nintendo 3DS at dinner - Kid for a Day
Photo-A-Day #4146

We were hosted by Nintendo to attend dinner and a Play Nintendo Tour 2016 experience event. Opinions of the night’s activities are 100% our own.

Tonight we had a very special evening. I was invited, along with the whole family, to the South Shore Plaza where the Play Nintendo Tour 2016 has made a stop. There are stations set up all over with Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 2DS portable game systems. The Play Nintendo Tour 2016 will be at the South Shore Plaza all weekend so head over to play with the newest Nintendo 3DS games, win prizes and have a lot of fun!

We got there early and walked around Target for a bit, then we went up into the mall. We spent some time in the LEGO store because, well, it is the LEGO store and there are cool things to see. We wandered further along and ran into fellow blogger, Aaron Gouveia of The Daddy Files and he let us know that the Nintendo area was just a little ways further into the Mall. We were still early for Dinner so we headed there to check things out. It was intense. There were dozens of game systems and a bunch of games, fun photo op areas and there was a card that you get and then go from station to station to play each game and get stickers. Then, when the card is filled up you brought it to someone working the booth and they would give you a coin for a chance at playing the claw game. You get a second one for going to play.nintendo.com on your mobile device. Andrew did this first and he didn’t get anything on his two tries. He’s also 4 so he had a very tough time not winning anything. He had a meltdown. The poor kid was so overtired. I got down with him and explained that we were there as special VIP folks and that we were getting a gift bag at the end and it would have goodies in it that no one else here would have. There is no use crying over the game, it is a game of chance and we can’t win everything. I was observed talking with Andrew and the woman whispered, “Good job dad.” Thanks, sometimes I can actually get things to turn around with the kids. I’m getting ahead of myself, however.
