Endless summer fun awaits with brand new Pokémon and Secret Life Of Pets 2 toys!

As much as my two little guys LOVE to swim in our community pool during the summer and ride their 4 wheelers and bikes until they are sporting pink noses and drenched t-shirts, sometimes a rainy day happens.

When it does, I like to make sure my little guys have activities to keep them busy. About a year ago, both of my sons became extremely interested in Pokémon. I use the word "interested" but if I'm being honest, it's more like "obsessed."

These new Pokémon card sets and Elite Trainer Box will provide endless indoor fun for your kiddos! 

Here is a little information about the new Pokémon Sun and Moon: Unbroken Bonds expansion:

When you have a partner you can count on, nothing can stop you! The TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX in the Pokémon TCG: Sun & Moon—Unbroken Bonds expansion shows the colossal power of teamwork! With over 210 cards to collect, 7  brand-new TAG TEAM Pokémon-GX, more than 25 Trainer cards, a new Special Energy card -- your opponent won’t stand a chance against your experience!  Plus, with the Elite Trainer Box, you’ll find collectible dice, condition makers, energy cards, and much more! With trust and practice, these Pokémon can tackle just about anything!

The Elite Trainer Box is unlike any other Pokémon set I have seen! It's FILLED with cards and a very interesting game that is loads of fun.

The Elite Trainer Box includes:

For my little guys, it's all about the CARDS. Sure, the game is a lot of fun, but the new cards take the cake. They immediately find their favorites, locate them in their Pokémon encyclopedia books and add them to their card binders. Now and then I hear them trading Pokémon cards and it takes me back to my childhood and all of the toys my friends and I would sneak to trade at recess. Shh! 

Admitedly, I do not know very much about the various Pokémon, the way they evolve or the powers they carry. My sons will educate me every now and then and it's quite interesting to hear their different interpretations! This is my youngest. He will turn 7 in a couple of weeks and he genuinely gets THIS excited for Pokémon!

I'll never forget taking my two boys to see the first installment of The Secret Life Of Pets. We all loved it! Did you see the first movie in the theater? Are your kids excited about Secret Life Of Pets 2?

If so, be sure you check out this adorable value box! Inside are $25 worth of products but you'll save big time as the box is only $9.99! 

Everyone’s favorite domesticated-talking pets are hitting the big screen again in The Secret Life Of Pets 2! Show off your excitement for Max, Gidget, and the gang with the all-new The Secret Life of Pets 2 Value Box! This fun filled package contains 8 random items, including Dog Tags, puzzle erasers, keychains, and Plush. 

It doesn't get much cuter than this box! It is packed full of goodies and will provide such excitement for a special little one in your life. 

We have not been to see The Secret Life of Pets 2 in the theater yet, but my kids have been asking to do so. We are definitely movie theater people and truly enjoy going together as a family. 

Do you prefer going to the movie theater to watch a new movie or waiting until it's available to see at home?

I hope I've given you some great ideas to make the rainy summer days a little brighter! These items also make the perfect gift for a boy or a girl.
