Kite Flying Brings out the Smiles

Kite Flying Fun
Photo-A-Day #4027

While yesterday’s Kite Flying adventure ended in a polar plunge, today’s ended in smiles. Smiles were huge because of some very successful kite flying action. Andrew ended up flying Eva’s Turtle kite up to the end of it’s string. Eva flew my Ninja Turtle kite up to the string’s end as well. We had a great time watching them play and the smiles were huge on the kid’s faces. They loved the success that they experienced.

Today’s fun was about playing with some new toys, going swimming and enjoying our favorite pizza on the Cape.

As for the toys we played with some of the Tonka Climb-Overs and also the new Sky Viper HD Video Drone. Eva and I went over to the beach first thing in the morning to try flying the Sky Viper. I did not do very well. I crashed quite a few times and even broke a propeller. I replaced that but now I can’t get it flying anymore. I’ll have to fix that soon.

We had better luck with the Tonka Climb-Overs 4X4 Motorized Vehicles. The kids and I did a full review on those toys.

After lunch we went swimming at a pool around the corner. The kids had a great time swimming and jumping in to the pool. We had to talk to Andrew quite a few times and he’s not that strong a swimmer but doesn’t recognize that he’s not a strong swimmer. We keep right on him, though.

Dinner was over at Paul’s Pizza and it was delicious. It is one of the only places that has been exactly as good as it was when I first came to the Cape in 1981.

Review: 4 Tonka Climb-Overs 4X4 Vehicle Play Sets

Loving the Tonka Climb-Overs

We received four Tonka Climb-Overs sets from Funrise Toys to play with and review. Opinions in this post and video are 100% our own.

I asked to review the Tonka Climb-Overs because I thought that they would be great for the kids to play while on the Cape. These would be fun for Andrew and his cousin, Dylan because they both love trucks. With these sets they can create so many different tracks and see what they can do with those tracks.

Each vehicle comes with batteries and they are in a test mode. You have to take of a silver regulator to allow the trucks to run on their own. We didn’t quite get that until we read the instructions. You need to take a moment and read the instructions, they are very helpful.

The tracks are nice and you can shift them up and down. That way you can make great terrain for the trucks to drive on. These are powerful little trucks and they will just keep going. You can’t make the drive too steep in one shoot though because they will flip over backwards. But a gentle rise is fine and the trucks just keep going up. The video explains things further and after that you can read the official descriptions of the different sets.
