Emerald City ComiCon

We have now attended our very first ComiCon ever. This is something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I love how we could all go and enjoy it for different reasons. TJ is the big overall geek in our family. He could stay at the booths with all the old comics and spend the entire weekend poring through them. I’m the art fan. I love looking at all the different style and interpretations of visual art.  Especially, since having children I’ve found it hard to draw.  Skylar liked recognizing his favorite characters and posing with the people in costume. He’s put in a “sweet costume” request for next year. Milo liked the toys and the Star Wars stuff. There you have it. A family activity! Even my brother came! So we met this guy in the elevator at the parking deck. I can’t remember who he is. I think he’s actually from a video game Skylar plays. He wasn’t hired for this. He even had his little son with him! People show up in costumes and just adore having their picture taken with other conference attendees. Milo’s not a big fan of being too close to them so we didn’t have any photos of him.

He’s not always a fan of having his picture taken. That’s why there are no photos of him with his hockey pads under his batman shirt, so he would “look buff”. The boys souls were fed this past weekend. They really loved the ComiCon. They even had an artist draw them each a sketch of Deadpool for 5 bucks each.  When we got home, we trimmed up the paper a bit and framed them.  Each sketch has their own names on it and are now hanging in their bedrooms.  That’s pretty special.

Looking at these photos of Skylar reminds me of how he has grown and changed; no longer a little boy.  I can see his personality and his happiness shining through.
