n
nHooray for toys!
n
n
n
nDuring these crazy and difficult times, everyone needs to rest their brains, release the stress, generate some laughs, play!
I couldn’t spot a reason why June 9 is Toy Industry Day, or whether anyone is doing Toy Industry Day types of stuff, but I figure we can make our own fun by playing with…what else? Toys!
My favorite toy right now is the endless creativity and flexibility of LEGO.

| I have been building LEGO castles – but none as cool as this! |
n
n
n
nWith the little kids in my life, I have been enjoying really old Fisher Price and semi-old Playmobile and recent V-Tech toys.

n
n
n
n
 |
| Our V-Tech road twists and turns around, with a car repair shop, fire station, parking garage, and more destinations to choose from. |
n
n
n
n
nNot to mention balls and balloons, water and mud, trampolines, blanket forts, and other perennial favorites!
n

| This summer, I want to try water balloons on the trampoline! |
