Family Paddle Boarding Adventure

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #01290

Today we took advantage of a beautiful morning to try out our Christmas gifts. This Christmas we each got an inflatable Stand Up Paddle Board. We took them over to Great Bay to try them out. Andy and Eva had no trouble at all standing up on their boards. Allison also got to a standing position. I tried it and promptly face planted, mouth wide open into Great Bay. I swallowed way too much and then spent much of the time after that in a coughing fit. That was not caught on video, but Allison caught a picture of me post dunk.

After I cleared out all the water I was able to paddle around on my knees and also in a sitting position. I think that my board will need to be inflated more the next time we go out.

I had my GoPro Max strapped to the front of my board and got some decent video that I need to process soon to see if I can get a few minutes of usable footage.

Review: Lumibricks Izakaya Building ...

The folks from Lumibricks sent me their latest building set, the Izakaya for free to build and review. Opinions are 100% my own. I've built a few sets from Lumibricks (formerly FunWhole) in the past and they are really fun and interesting. The photo above is of the Izakaya and also The Apartment. they are both part of a Cyberpunk theme called Neoncity. At this time there are also two additional buildings that you can build and add to this whole theme, the Game Stack and the Floating Train Station. The great things about these sets is that they light up. As you build you are also adding lights and wires and ways to illuminate the amazing build. Once you're done building you fire up some power and the lights blaze up. With Neoncity sets you get some incredible Nenon effects light signs and even neon tube lights. That is one of the coolest things about these sets is how the lights are incorporated into the build. Some very innovative bricks were made in order to thread the wiring...

2025 Family Ornament ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02515 We put our tree up the other day and I had already bought the 2025 Hallmark Keepsake ornament for our yearly family photo ornament. I love these ornaments on the tree. We have them from 2005 to now.

Christmas Tree Is Up ...

Photo-A-Day 2.0 #02510 Yesterday we put up the trees and today we decided to decorate the tree after dinner. Our tree is now mostly our family photo ornaments. We have a bunch of ornaments but with over 20 years of family photo ornaments it look like the predominant ornament type that we'll see. We did get a 2025 Hallmark one as well and I have to select this year's photo.
