I was invited to attend this Walmart event as press. As always, the opinions I share are my own.
As a blogger, I have the luck to be invited and attend so many cool events. The opportunity to take the kids with me is one in 50 I can say. This time I was able to take D. with me and saying that she had a great time is an understatement. She was able to join the Top Rated by Kids – The Most Amazing Toy List made by Walmart.
