He Earned His Orange Belt

Belt Graduation
Photo-A-Day #4372

Today was Andrew’s graduation to the orange belt in Karate. He’s been taking Karate since August. This was his first big graduation. The last graduation was held at the karate studio and was a smaller event. Today there were many more kids and families at the graduation ceremony. There were demonstrations from the higher ranking kids and what they could do was pretty incredible.

In this ceremony Allison did the parent part. I like how they do this. One parent sits with the child and gives them their belt. The child gives the parent a small ribbon the color of their new rank in a symbol that earning the rank requires a team and not just a single child. After the child receives a rank or stripe or anything new they go to their parents and give them hugs and thank them for helping them with their achievement.

Andrew is now going to be one of the highest ranking kids in the group of white, yellow and orange belts. Sensei took him aside the other day and told him that he will be moving up and when he does he will have to be a leader and an example to the younger kids. I think that this is going to be really good for him.

Tonight we were having dinner, Andrew and Eva had been watching Go Noodle during the day and they learned about beatboxing. Because of that we had some silly moments and I was able to pull an April Fool’s joke on Eva. I talk about it in today’s video.

Unboxing The cursed Tiki Temple Adventure Pack for Skylanders Imaginators on the Nintendo Switch

Skylanders Sensei Wildstorm - Cursed Tiki Temple Adventure Pack
Photo-A-Day #4370

Activision sent me the Cursed Tiki Temple Adventure Pack with Skylanders Sensei Wildstorm, a Life Creation Crystal and an imaginite chest with over 80 parts.

Wildstorm is a Knight Battle Class Sensei of the Air Element and having him unlocks a whole new level, the Cursed Tiki Temple level. It is full of all new baddies and lots of fun.

I loaded in the character as well as the imaginite chest full of 80 imaginite items. Now I have a ton of new stuff to use to create new Imaginator characters. On top of that there was the new Life Creation Crystal and despite already having that design I can still use it to create a new character of a different battle class.

I noticed that the chest provided new ultimate weapons for the imaginators. One weapon for each battle class. Something I failed to point out in the video below. The video shows you more about the character, his catch phrase and much more. Of of the cooler looking characters to come along.

Activision sent me the gameplay video to use in my video. I am still working out how to capture great gameplay on my Nintendo Switch so that I can give you more gameplay videos. This new Adventure Pack releases on April 7, 2017.
