Good Beach Day - Then this Happens.

Yesterday's weather was a perfect beach day. So we packed up the kids shovels,buckets, & lunch and hit the road. In NY we got a few choices when it comes to beaches but we settled for Jones Beach. Its cool because they have a BBQ area to grill ,A Pool, We could go catch a Baseball Game & other things aswell.


So everthing is going good the sun is shining, the kids are having fun but then all of a sudden I see everyone start look in one direction. Whats going on ?

Im thinking Baywatch was called on someone who was drowning, Then I see & hear a Black Chopper approaching to where everyone was looking & it stops. All of a sudden I see the ladder come down & soldier come out dressed in all black as he starts to climb down the ladder.

What the hell is going on ? Everyone is confused. Is someone dead ? Is this some type of Secret Covert Operation ? What is a Army Chopper doing here ?Then the Chopper started to move slowly & The closer it got the more clear it became what was going on.

Care to take a guess ?

This whole stunt was for the Movie G.I JOE.

Want to see my reaction and the face I put ?

A Crummy Commercial ?

Now I grew up watching and collecting G.I Joes but this stunt left me scratching my head at first.Thanks Paramount Where are you going to pull this stunt next Times Square ?

With that said the chopper did come around a 2nd time and this time we knew what was going on & I had my kids wave and the soldier waved back.

I cant lie this stunt just put GI JOE back on my radar for movies to go see.

What goes Up ?

We haven't done some type of crafts in over a month when me and Lil ones pulled out the finger paints and got busy. But after I saw these paper toys that Joe from "Toy a Day" is making I had to do my own.

So I pulled out a couple of things that I would need and knew right away which one I would do first.

I went with Carl Fredricksen from one our favorite movies of this summer "UP" But after he was done he looked to "Lonely" so I couldn't let him stay that way for long.

So I downloaded the blank template that Joe provides on his blog and got to work. Since it was my first time doing one it took me a few tries but when I was done I got Fred a cool little partner.

She came out ok I guess for my first try. Ill make her arms smaller next time,Because she looks like shes been pumping iron. After she was done the kids were working on there own & me being the bigger kid I was working on my second custom one using the Blank Template.

The kids did Super Mario & Sponge Bob,While I worked on this custom Plex that came out cool. After we were done we threw them all in the castle and there little imaginations took over. Isnt that the best part of being a kid ? Letting your imagination run wild where anything & everything is possible.
