Crocheted Gaming Cloak with integrated storage

Heather’s most recent crochet project has been to make a pocket wrap with a hood for a friend – but as she was testing it on our son, he claimed it. So it has now become the “crocheted gaming cloak with integrated storage”.

As we have all been hunkered down at home and as it is getting colder outside, having a nice, snug wrap while sitting at the computer has become a nice little pick me up. We are spending a lot of time on the computer lately with school, video games, etc and being comfortable is pretty huge right now.

This is a link to the written instructions to how the cloak was made and below is a quick overview video. If there is enough interest an actual how to video will likely come later.

Welcome!

Hi there! Welcome to BigGoofyFamily.com!

We are a family of 4 who have  a love of Disney, mermaids, mini Aussie shepherds and having fun in our backyard pool.

We previously used to blog and do Disney World trip reports at inspiredbydisney.com (Twitter and Instagram: @disneyinspiredx) and then moved to using znuggazahug.com (Twitter and Instagram: @znuggazahug) to expand our horizons a bit and started doing more YouTube videos.

We had some success there for a while but as our kids have gotten older, we want to start focusing on other things.

As part of that, we are re-branding as BigGoofyFamily – on this blog and on the YouTube channel as BigGoofyRunner and Family, expect more videos of stuff that just looks cool, Disney discussions and tours, and our dogs! Basically we are going back to to more of what we used to do with Inspired By Disney but expanded to include YouTube and just cool looking videos.

Content on this site is a combination of our posts from those previous sites and all new stuff from Sept 23, 2019 on.

Follow along with our adventures!

Just a pup enjoying a relaxing ride on a pool float!

One of our mini aussie shepherds likes to ride on pool floats. Here is some video we captured over a couple days this summer of Sven having a couple nice rides. Some cameos from Kaia the mermaid and our unicorn and flamingo pool floats.

Merman Fin Fun Barracuda mermaid tail unboxing and first swim. 3 mermaids in the pool!

Tae joined the mermaid family with a Fin Fun Mermaids Barracuda black mermaid tail.

Everyone was in such a rush the pool didn’t get cleaned and it was kind of a cloudy day but it was fun!

It took Tae a bit of time to get the hang of the tail swimming but you can see as the video goes on he gets better at it.

It is nice to see that Fin Fun has some options that boys will feel comfortable using. Kind of cool that the tail and stuff came in a bit less flashy / colorful packaging to also appear more to boys.

not an ad! We just like mermaid tails!

Kaia taking the mini aussie shepherds for a sunny morning walk

We took the opportunity to have a nice long walk in the sun on the weekend and took the GoPro along.

 

Peaceful underwater video – with Fin Fun mermaids!

We put the GoPro on the floor of the pool and caught some Fin Fun mermaids swimming!

Peaceful water sounds and dazzling sunlight.

 

Mermaid Kaia swimming with long hair and her Fin Fun mermaid tail!

So an idea was had to have Mermaid Kaia put on a very colourful wig with pink, purple and blue hair that would flow around nicely in the pool. Bonus points for it matching her Fun Fun mermaid tail colours!

Looked super cool.

 

Disney Store shopping haul – July 2017

Just did a quick run to the local Disney Store in Winnipeg to catch the last day of the DVC discount promotion that they were having.

Have a look at the video to see what we grabbed!

Pup in the mist!

Just a short video of one of our two mini aussie shepherds relaxing and enjoying some cooling mist on a hot summer day by the pool.

Wubble X ball in the pool! with some mermaids coming out to play as well!

Back in the winter we picked up a Wubble X ball kit – it comes with a small blow up ball, a can of helium, a bit of petroleum jelly to help the helium nozzle stick in the filler hole, and a small patch to put over the filler hole after it is full.

We recorded filling up the ball and then having some fun with it in the pool. Heather and K brought out there Fin Fun mermaid tails for some fun as well.

Lots of fun and a pretty interesting concept.

Unfortunately the ball wasn’t all that big and ended up popping pretty easily on some rocks near the pool. Too bad really, because it was lots of fun.

Hope you enjoy the video!
