BSG Con: Day 2

Jon longingly looking out onto the Chicago skyline, wishing he could spend more time with the BSG cast...

A solo panel with some good stories.

Our second day we stopped at this cool restaurant to get a good burger and fries.

Jon still radiating from the excitement of seeing the BSG cast in the different panels over the last two days!

'So say we all!'

A good time was had by all!

There were a bunch of different panels with the stars. It was fun to hear their stories and everything. Sometimes they would be on in different groups, and it was interesting to see how differently they acted depending on who they were up there with. Sometimes they were well behaved, but a few of them were clearly good friends and would be extra silly and pester each other!

Jon is in BSG heaven! And enjoying his special slurpee too!

One of the more well behaved panels.

For lunch on one of the days we went and got some chicken at Shaq's restaurant!

Jon's new best friend is Shaq.

Shuffling into the convention hall. We were too cheap to actually get reserved seating, so we were relegated to finding seats in the last 10 rows.

Walking back to the hotel from getting some Chicago style pizza!

Spooky Haunted House

Both of us were a little scared and uncertain before we went in...

Some of the creepy decorations we walked past as we shuffled through the waiting areas.

Soo scary!

The cool glasses they gave us to make the black light decorations really pop!

One of the monsters in the gift shop almost got me!

Power Washin'

Initially, Ledger didn't quite realize that he needs to work in a line and clean them off one by one...

Ooh- it's lookng pretty great!

Amazing how much of a difference it makes!

First Day

Waffles for breakfast, as usual, while he tries to wake up early, for the first time in months!

After I get my nice picture, he always loves to do some silly ones too!

Reenacting Lion King!

Getting his shoes on, ready to start the big day!

Walking in, saying hi to the superintendent!

Wow- it must have been an exhausting day! He fell asleep on the couch soon after getting home!

7th Grade Handprint

The first 8 handprints. Time to add one more!

Putting the pain on the plate, his artistic impulses take over!

He's so good at faces and expressions!

Another print for another year.

His 7th grade entry into the hand print board.

Random Ledge 115

Walking on top of the big wall on our way home from West Ward.

Going to see a movie together.

The boys ready to watch a silly movie together!

We went and got Ledger some new pants. He refused to try them on at the store, so we told him he would have to have a 'fashion show' when we got home. Diana and I lined up our chairs and he strutted his stuff down the hall for us to see how it all looked! Our lil' supermodel!
