"Comic-Con is a special kind of crazy."
-Denis O'Hare
FanCon, the largest comic and movies convention in Dallas, happened this weekend and we let the kids talk us into taking them. What we didn’t expect was for the older girls to go all out on their cosplay outfits. They looked awesome, and they were frequently asked to pose for pictures with other kids who had cosplays from the same anime. James and Isla also had a lot had fun. We got to see Star Wars characters, played games, and explored the endless rows of shops with all kinds of crazy comic memorabilia. Everyone said it was a blast and we’re already planning on going again next year.
James had another soccer game this weekend and he was pretty tired during it as he recovered from a bug. But he still went out there and gave it his best. The team was ahead at last time but it seemed like the rest of the team tired out quickly as well in the second half so they ended up being behind at the end.
James continues to say he wants to get into robotics when he gets older so we opened up a robot he received as a gift and got to work building it. James did everything himself, from connecting the wires, screwing the parts together, and then testing it by chasing the cats with the completed robot.
