It is in limited supply by the manufacturer. It looks so fun that I might just have to buy it for the whole family!

Air Hogs

Air Hogs are toy RC cars, planes, rockets and helicopters created by Spin Masters in Toronto, Canada. What makes some of these toys really cool is that they were created to be flown in the air without any need to put the toys together. No assembly for parents? Major plus in my book!

Step2 Wagon for Two

I would have loved to own a Step2 wagon for my kids. Back when we were living in CA, we used to go to a lot of fairs and car shows (hubby’s a car nut). In the sweltering CA heat, it was often a bit much for my kids to walk around with their tired little legs. The Step2 Wagon for two would have been a major lifesavor by allowing us to haul our tired little ones behind us while we checked out each gleaming hot rod.
