A LITTLE FAMILY TIME.

All opinions are mine alone. #AvengersUnite #CollectiveBiasWith our crazy schedules we take family time anytime we can get it and we usually try to do something fun. If you have read my blog in the past, you know that Matt is a total superhero nut. He absolutely loves them and has been seriously counting down the days until MARVEL’s The Avengers: Age of Ultron movie comes out. Zach and I decided for a little family time that we should surprise Matt with playing The Avengers.
We started out by taking Matt to Wal-Mart and telling him that we were going to have a superhero night. We let him pick out a tee shirt for each of us and then pick out some toys to play with. He thought it was the best thing ever that we just let him pick anything he wanted. We got ready to go and if you know Matt he had to have some snacks. We started roaming up and down the snack aisles when Matt saw all the fun The Avengers snacks! They had everything! Doritos, CHEEZ-ITS, Dr. Pepper, Fruit Snacks, and so many other fun snacks.

We headed back home and let the party begin. Let’s just say I haven’t seen Matt have so much fun in a long time. We each took a character and started to fight each other and the “bad guys”. I was Hawkeye with the bow & arrow, Matt was Captain America with his shield, and Zach was Iron Man with his mask. Matt thought it was the best thing ever that King got to play and that we would spend time playing superheroes with him. 

We caught some pretty funny pictures of us “fighting”. Some of them look so real and Matt was cracking up when we went back and looked at all of them. 

When we were at Wal-Mart we also found out that you can scan displays or products in the store on this amazing The Avengers Super Heroes app (iTunes – Google Play. You get to take pictures of yourselves and then it will overlay the super heroes suit over top of you. I can’t get over this hilarious picture of King that we took.

We had such a fun time playing as a family and spending time together. Memories like this will last forever. Zach and I have decided to do something fun like this with Matt once a month. We know it is something that if we take the time to do, it will make him beyond happy and make memories for us with him that we will never forget.

Are you an The Avengers fan? Are you planning to snag some yummy treats or toys at Wal-Mart? If so you can find them on the snack/chip aisle, drink aisle, & in the toy section.
