Return of the Comic Expo

This weekend was the annual Comic Expo! I went yesterday with Troy and my two little brothers, Connor and Cooper. They have never been before, including Troy, so I figured it would be a fun day!

Well, it was fun, but exhausting. The boys are so young, so they got tired very quickly. And every booth we stooped at they would see something they wanted and they would try to convince me to buy it for them. Trying to teach them the value of a dollar is very difficult. But they got a few things they wanted, and I did as well. I FINALLY have the Hylian Shield added to my collection! I have been looking for it for a few years now, so when I saw it I instantly wanted to buy it. I also randomly found a Ganondorf action figure from Ocarina of Time, and a couple of posters. It was hard to look at anything when you have two little guys that keep getting distracted and wondering off. I'm going to have to take full advantage of the weekend next year. I might even dress up! Now that I have the shield, I could be Link.

George A. Romero was supposed to make an appearance, but he sustained an injury, so hopefully he will be there next year. William Shatner was there as well, but I didn't get to see him. Would have been cool though! We did see endless amounts of people dressed in Star Wars gear, and other awesome characters. They boys were a little shy to get their pictures taken, but with a little reassurance they got lots of pictures.

I could have stayed for at least a few more hours, but the boys wanted to go home so we left earlier than anticipated. Sadly, it was the only day I could go, but I had lots of fun and I'm sure they did too. After all, I finally have what I've been looking for for along time! Until we meet again, comic expo.


Ooooh yes..

My baaabyyy!

I had to. He was $4!
