Activision Sent Me A HUGE BOX Today!

Destiny 2 Special Edition
Photo-A-Day #4529

I’m kinda thinking that I should have titled it “Activision Trolled Me Hard”. I was actually writing a post about the launch of Destiny 2 today and Fed Ex pulled up. I knew that I was getting a copy of the game for the Xbox One. You can imagine my stupefied look when I got this 20lb box from Activision. I brought it in and opened it just enough to see the cover and it said XBox One! It was the perfect shape and size for the XBox One S console. I thought that it was the gaming system, and it would just have a copy of Destiny 2 inside. So, I was super excited. I don’t have an XBox One S, and so I was even more excited. I figured that I would do a live unboxing, set up the game and do some live gaming on YouTube.

Well, I worked on a project and at 2pm I went to do a livestream. I have OBS on my computer and am looking to do more livestreams, however, it didn’t work for me. So, I ran upstairs and got my tripod. I set it up and started the livestream. Check it out below.

Our Annual Visit to King Richard’s Faire 2017

At King Richards Faire
Photo-A-Day #4527

Today we went to King Richard’s Faire. This is an annual pilgrimage to Carvershire that is hosted by the King Richard’s Faire PR maven, Julie. We love going to the event, seeing all of the performers from over the years. The kids have grown up at the Faire. Andrew has been every year that he has been alive. He’s been able to have such an amazing experience each time we visit. Even when he has had meltdowns he has had great experiences.

Eva as had even more amazing experiences because she fully embraces the fun of being at a Renaissance Faire. She dresses up, interacts with the cast and just loves walking around. Last year we had intended to go on Labor day but a huge storm closed the realm, so we readjusted. We ended up taking Eva and Andrew to the Faire on Eva’s 9th Birthday. The cast was so fantastic with her.

this year we arrived just as the doors were opening. The cast was doing their welcome to the crowd and we were in for an interesting show. Our friend Ryan was going to have a big part in the musical show that they put on every year. The show is usually in 2 or 3 acts. This year it was in 2 acts. We all made it to Act 1 but we had to divide and conquer for part 2. Allison and Eva went to the show and Andrew and I wen to see Snorkel, the Trained Pig, who will be there for only 4 weeks, so come within the next three weeks to see this cute show. Andrew loved the show. There was “dangerous stuff and a pig!” You can see Andrew’s Antics in today’s video.
