I love going to Times Square! How exciting and fun it would be to attend this event. Sounds like a great family day.
sounds like a fun event. My son is not into Skylander at this time, but I expect he will be at some time.
My Son loves Skylanders! I think he will find this game under the tree this year! Thank you for sharing Swaptoberfest!
