I received an Air Hogs Helix X4 Stunt Quadcopter to try out and review. Opinions expressed are 100% my own based on my experience with the toy.

Preparing for Monster Hunting


Photo-A-Day #3138

Tomorrow Eva and I are going to go Monster Hunting. We’ve been working on creating monsters for the past few month for this event. I’ve gotten a bunch of blasters and dart guns for years and figured that we could come up with some way to use them together.

The house is under a sickness this weekend. The kids aren’t feeling great. I’m home sick today and Allison hasn’t been feeling well, either. We shared a family movie and somehow all managed to remain awake until it was actually time for bed. Allison made a great Italian Wedding soup which was just what we needed.
