Free Comic Book Day 2015


Photo-A-Day #3676

Today I took the kids out to Wild Time Comics to pick up free comic books for Free Comic Book Day. We got there a few minutes early and we were pretty close to the first people into the store. Andrew got a couple of books and so did Eva. Then they got some goodie bags, cookies and Andrew got himself a drink box as well. I took a photo with Randy who was dressed as Thor. We’ve been doing this particular photo every year that we’ve ever gone to the event. It is one of the highlights for me. I didn’t get a photo with the kids while we were there but Allison took a photo of us when we returned home. Andrew still would not wear the Baymax mask.

Sadly, we were running through everything so quickly that we didn’t get a family photo at the event. I didn’t even get the kids in the same shot. But overall we had fun.

I got home from work and helped Eva decide what costume she was going to wear. She had her whole dress up bucket scattered on her floor as she decided on that exact costume. She had talked about being a warrior princess fairy but then changed her mind and became a Warrior Witch. She wore her Halloween costume and took along the shiny broom. She had said that she wanted her sword but decided against it. We took it anyway for photos. Continue reading Free Comic Book Day 2014
