crazychicknladyWe just got back, yesterday, from LepreCon 2008. We stayed at the hotel during the convention, which was S's most fervent wish. M spent much of his time working on recording some of his music so he can put out a live album. I mostly hung out with the kids.
I was too busy just being with the kids to get many photos taken, but S requested I get pictures of all the fountains at the hotel. She wants to look at them later and decide which she likes the most and will put into her photo album.
The kids went swimming five times in three days. I went swimming with them on each day during the day, then watched while they went swimming at night. They split their time between the not too hot hot tub (which C called the hot pool) and the slightly too cold baseball shaped pool.
I like LepreCon, it has lots of hands on panels, since it is an Art Con. So, even though I made the kids my focus instead of worrying about getting to attend convention events, we still got to do stuff. S made a mask. We made bracelets; the patient lady at the panel even helped C make one. H, S and C got to finger paint. And, of course, we spent plenty of time at the Con suite. I even managed to sing one song at the filk Friday night.
We went regency dancing one night and modern dancing the next. H had such a good time at the modern dancing, with the moving colored lights, she told me she didn't need a 19th birthday party, this was so much fun, it counted.
All in all, a pleasant con.
Next stop CopperCon.
