crazychicknladyThe kids all had fun. They spent a lot of time in the gaming room, and each kid won a t-shirt (C won two).
Each of our kids ended up spending a good deal of time with a friend's three year old. A few times she played with C by running the halways, and they went swimming Sunday morning. I've been told she referred to C all weekend as her best friend.
C attempted to attend all the D.R.E.A.D. fleet panels, including learning sword fighting techniques with ballon swords and the treasure egg hunt they sponsored because the last day of the Con landed on Easter.
H went to several panels involving a local artist drawing, then painting a big cat. He gave her the graphite drawing at the end of the painting panel. She also went to a writing panel on including religion in your world that she found interesting enough to excitedly talk to me about it after it was over.
S went to several costuming panels, but what seemed to spark her creativity the most was a conversation about horns in the Consuite. She dived into a creative endeavor as soon as we got home and was still working at it when the rest of us went to bed. Some glorious cardboard horns were waiting on the kitchen table when I got up this morning. I have yet to determine exactly how little sleep S actually got last night.
M got to show off his new, two necked Chimera guitar, made by Emerald. It took only four days to ship from Ireland. M was super lucky that it arrived at our house during the approximately two hour window on Saturday when I was home dealing with the animals before picking up S from her ceramics class and heading back to the Con.
There was some small amount of filking each night. M and I helped voice a Firefly radio play - M was Wash, I was Kaylee. On Saturday, before heading to the filk, I hung out at the Manticore Navy's room party, which being conveniently located next to the pool, allowed me to let C swim for a couple of hours.
I had a panel where no one showed up, so I played to an imaginary circle of children and figured out three Tom T. Hall songs I can comfortably play on the ukelele. Later that day I went to a harmony panel that was very informative and enjoyable.
On the last day of the Con, M and I split forces. He went home early and let the birds out for me, then made sure there was some food waiting for us when got there. I stayed till 5pm so the girls could do more panels and C could squeeze every last drop of fun out of the gaming room. He wants to buy an old X-Box and an X-men game now.
