July 4th is fast approaching and with the fireworks, food and fun there is also the birthday of Captain America. This year marks the 75th birthday of this American icon. Despite what is going on in the comics right now he is still a hero. The current storyline will eventually go back to normal. This past year I have been poking fun at Captain America, too. MY friend Andrew of Mommy’s Busy was backing Cap in the movie Captain America: Civil War and I took the Iron Man side. Andrew is actually giving away two out of the three toys that I received from Hasbro and you can enter at The Happy Birthday Captain America Giveaway. Tell him I sent you. So, to celebrate these toys and Cap’s birthday I did an unboxing video today on the vlog.
Andrew and I went on a few errands today and then finished off with a trip to the zoo and playground. We had to go place the order for the food for Eva’s First Communion. We’re doing platters and sandwiches from Willow Tree. After that we ran over to the comic store to pick up comics. Andrew was a little crazy there but we survived that excursion. Lunch over at Wetherlane’s and Andrew entertained everyone around us as we were leaving by telling them that he flew down a slide and kicked me in the face. He’s a showman. I was attempting to get him to nap later.
When we got to Capron Park we went into the zoo first. He had gotten a lollipop at the comic book shop and wanted to eat it. I figure, let’s walk around and see all the animals and he can finish his lollipop. He did pretty well with it. Then we hit the playground and Andrew played on everything. His favorite thing to do now is to climb across the top of the monkey bars. I’m right there next to him within catching distance, so don’t worry.
For my vlog today I got a bunch of new Mike and Ike candy as well as new Peeps. Those were sent to me for a future promotion and I also spotlighted a few things that I bought recently. One was a 75th Anniversary Captain America Hot Wheels and then the other was a three-pack of Hot Wheels cars including All-New Captain America, Superior Iron Man and Miles Morales Spider Man. Check them out.
