Episode 026 – Galaxy of Heroes

In today’s episode we talk about Captain Owen’s third birthday party! He got a ton of fun goodies including more Star Wars Galactic Heroes, Rainbow Dash and Applejack, The World of Eric Carle My First Smart Pad Library, Melissa & Doug See & Spell, and so much more that I’m sure we’ll be hearing about in future episodes. We talk a little bit about the Star Wars game on my phone, and I have to admit I’ve been playing a lot of Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes on my phone lately. While I will occasionally let Owen help me with a battle or two, I try to keep my games out of sight and out of his hands. So I shouldn’t have been surprised when he started playing “my game” with his Galactic Heroes figures. He sets up two teams of guys and has them battle it out just like in the iOS game. Everyday I’m amazed to watch those gears of his turning.

Episode 023 – Happy Anniversary

Happy Anniversary! Well, almost. We have a new intro and a new graphic to celebrate the new year and our one-year anniversary. In this episode Captain Owen tells us a magic Star Wars story, and we are joined by his Uncle Forest and Grandpa Rob. Sorry it’s a little short but we’ve been quite busy with the holidays. But our next episode will be jam packed with our adventures at Disneyland and running the Star Wars races for the second year in a row.

Episode 017 – Villenium Valcon

017-MilleniumFalcon
Chewie and R2 play Dejarik while Darth Vader pilots.

This week we play with Captain Owen’s Star Wars Galactic Heroes Millenium Falcon and Darth Vader that he got from his Grandma Janice on Force Friday! These Galactic Heroes toys are pretty great, and they did a real nice job of capturing that old school playset that’s also a carrying case feel. I see many more Galactic Heroes playsets and figures in our future.

Episode 016 – Pirate Puzzle

First off, I want to apologize for the past two weeks–I had PAX Prime and then DragonCon, so I wasn’t able to get an episode finished in time. I don’t have anymore big trips planned in the near future so we should be back on track.

This episode we briefly talk about Captain Owen’s new big boy room–it’s still in the works but expect a lot more about it including a full write up on GeekDad.com. Then we spend the rest of the episode playing with a Melissa & Doug pirate puzzle–Captain Owen’s first 48-piece puzzle!

Episode 014 – Huckle

This episode we spend the entire show reading from Richard Scarry’s Best First Book Ever! It’s a pretty long and detailed book so we spend the entire time on it today and still didn’t read close to everything!
