We! Are! Groot!
Battle Cry, Costumes in public not on Halloween, Dippin Dots, and a "Daddy-and-us" Day. That can only mean one thing:
And you've been excitedly waiting for it since last year...
ComicCon!
So Iron Man, and Supergirl suited up along with Preacher, and we headed to the DART Rail Station to wisk us away to COMICON 2017!
The train ride in and of itself was a lot of fun! You guys loved it and counted down the stops, when not chatting it up with fellow passengers. But you were eager for the main event, and excited about all of the costumed heroes you hoped to see and snap pictures with!
The train arrived, and we were off, with muscles and super powers ready to take on Comicon 2017! (which I guess is technically called "Fan Expo Dallas"...but whatever!)
We saw Pokemon...
and giant Legos...
...and Mario-Worlders:
And as we progressed through the convention center, one thing dawned on me: both of you have grown up SO MUCH since last year.
Julia, you were not scared anymore- and were bravely taking the lead on telling me who you'd like to take pictures with and even approaching some of your heroes yourself.
Aidan, you were not sensory-overwhelmed, and were able to decide on your purchase (Two Ice Hulks!) with conviction and satisfaction.
And, for my part, I am growing too. I may have lost an eye since last year, but thanks to both of you, I've gained a lot of perspective and vision. And the three of us, our powers combined, had a FABULOUS day.
There were heroes:
...and princesses...
...and villains:
There was time travel...
...and imprisonments...
We had a Jawa-dropping fun time:
The train ride home was like a shuttle back to another universe, but we'll always have our souvenirs and our memories and...until next year..
.... may you continue to be the SUPER KIDS you always have been!
