Enthusiastic Unboxings

Wicked lot of toys to unbox.

All the products depicted and unboxed were provided free in exchange for honest reviews. I did buy the Qixels and the Hot Wheels car myself, though.

Going away on a nearly week-long trip after going on a trip and then a mini vacation tends to make the mail pile up at the house. I came home to about of big boxes filled with great toys from companies that I met at Sweet Suite. The kids and I will be unboxing and using a ton of toys in the next few weeks. I was very excited to open all these boxes to find some fun toys inside. I can’t wait for the giant water balloon fight we can have with the Bunch o Balloons! Andrew is going to love playing with the Micro Boats and also the Reactorz balls. I think that Eva is going to want to get her hands on the 3D Pen and I will try and solve the Q-Bot puzzle. And we’ll watch some Wild Kratts together.

Garrett Popcorn Brings the Joy

I came home from California today. A car was picking me up to bring me to the airport at 6am. I set two alarms on my phone. My phone died and I plugged it in to charge. I forgot to turn it back on so no alarms. I was woken up by the front desk calling me to let me know that the car was there at 6:12 am. I flew out of bed packed the last minute things and was down to the car in 4 minutes. The ride to the airport was super quick and the line for security was so short, too. My first flight was great, I had a seat with no one next to me and that worked out great. Then I got to Chicago.

In Chicago the planes were all a mess. We had delays and more. I think a bunch of the guys got stuck on their trips home. For me I ended up stuck in Chicago until around 5pm or so. I got back to Providence around 8:30pm. It was much later than I expected but that was okay.

While I was in Chicago I was able to stop at my favorite Popcorn place, Garrett Popcorn Shops. They make the Garrett Mix which is cheese popcorn with caramel popcorn. It sounds gross but tastes amazing. But you have to get their’s, they have the best! I think I even convinced a few of the guys to get some as well! We had a Facebook chat open for all the guys and shared our travel woes.

Once I got home I was hungry. The only real substantial thing that I ate was breakfast in California. I ended up at Taco Bell. Moment of weakness but it tasted so good.

Then it was time to get home and clean up after the cats, sort the mail and take all the boxes up to the office. I have a ton of unboxing videos to do soon. Let me finish typing this up and posting the video then it is time for bed. Enjoy today’s video. I hope you like the musical portions and the stories that they tell.
