"We like to spend time with the kids, and we're trying to get out of the phone ... They're starting to lose what was before. We have to make activity with the kids, and so it's nice as a father, a parent, to be involved," father Armando Blas said.Home Depot also offers hands-on activities inside stores on the first Saturday of every month.
