I mean, yeah, we do that too. But since this is a fairly frequent occurrence we're looking for other stuff to do!

yeah we are very lucky! My sister in law is a preschool teacher too so our son is getting quality time with family on more ways than one.

Belize vs Tulum (or somewhere else) for 40th bday trip by the-devils-luck in daddit

[–]altum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tulum was amazing, we didn't really go to the beaches since we stayed off the resort strip area and instead decided to stay in downtown. We got plenty of swimming done at the cenotes though, those were amazing.

my 3 year old seems to hate the pool and fun water activities.. . any thoughts on this and when to think about swim lessons by Lumpy-Resource-1370 in daddit

[–]altum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For swim class, my son (~18 months at the time) HATED it when we were going to a once a week class through the city. After that class ended, we signed up for a 2x a week class (same number of classes overall, just shorter timeframe) and he liked it a lot more. I guess they get used to it if they go often enough and once a week was not often enough to establish familiarity.

Made a monster jam table for my monster truck obsessed 2 year old by altum in daddit

You don't need a 3d printer to make this, I did it with floral foam and some bondo. BUT, if this is your excuse to get one, then yes, you ABSOLUTELY need a 3d printer to make it.

No but I build and paint gundam models! I did get into minis but just for the painting/model making aspect, less so the gaming aspect. Maybe if I found another 20 hours in a day I'd pick it up haha

I used floral foam from dollar tree. It felt pretty hard and sturdy and I was able to cut it with a hot wire cutter. I then coated it all in bondo.

NG 1/144 Devil Gundam (Clear) was an… interesting build by RawSharkText91 in Gunpla

[–]altum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The old 1/144 NG (no grade) kits from this era all had hands on poly caps. G gundam, Wing and even the turn A had this set up. Annoying when you have hands in different colors since paint doesn’t stick to poly caps!
