Convention.
I went to a local SciFi Convention with the kids this weekend, while M flew off to go to a different one. His was larger, and more fun for him, so other than the 8 hour delay on his return flight he might have wanted to do this again next year. Best news, he got to be present for the handfasting of some dear friends; especially nice since we were not forewarned of the impending nuptials.
The kids and I had a good time at our Con and have aleady registered for next year. C spent most of his time in the gaming room, though he did go to a couple of panels which he enjoyed. He cosplayed as Rapunzel and Little Red Riding Hood.
H and S helped me make critical mass for filking. H played Hope Eyrie on flute while the whole room sang along and it sounded wonderful. H was her necromancer cospay on Saturday, with her assistant Doctor Plagious the white rat.
S cosplayed her Tiefling, complete with red makeup. We lucked out on her work schedule: Friday 10-2, and Sunday 7-10. Three weeks on the job and she accidentally got a schedule conducive to going to the whole Convention.
