January 2015 - Comic Con FanX

Comic Con came early this year and we brought all the kids with us.

Day 1: Thursday

Jaina was excited to get a sticker of Studio C

We found a really amazing looking dinosaur cosplay.

The girls just loved this Unikitty Cosplayer.

Karri was such a good sport and gave Jaina a ride when her legs were so tired.

Since we found the Tardis in September, we opted out of it, but we did run into a Weeping Angel.

My favorite part of the giant Lego display!  I wish they really had Star Trek Legos.

There was a kids corner that had Tea with Princesses. It was a great place for the girls to unwind. 

Day 2: Friday

I went up early on Friday with Jaina and Melody because of a Photo Op time. 

So we had a lot of hanging out to do.

We found a Clone Trooper

A Fairy Godmother, Cinderella & Elsa.

Then Anna was at the Tea Party!

We also found, Snow White, Aurora, & Bell, with a photo bomb by Maleficent.

And the reason why we came up so early was to meet Matt Smith aka The 11th Doctor.

I introduced him to Melody, told him that we call her Mels. 

Then he tickled her tummy and said "Hi Mels!"  It was perfect!

Since we wanted to have all the kids with us for the whole Con, we 

decided to get a hotel room for Friday night. So in the afternoon, I walked 

the girls over to the hotel, which was around the corner from the Salt 

Palace, so we could take our shoes off and run around a bit before going 

back over and meeting up with Pat, Xander & Mara.

When we got back, Jaina was able to do this ropes course as part of becoming a Super Hero!

Pat took the kids for me so I could attend the Doctor Who panel with JD, Chris, Karri & Heidi. 

We had to pay to attend the panel, which was crazy, but it was awesome to be able to do it.

They had Karen Gillan 'Amy Pond' and Billie Piper ' Rose Tyler'

Along with Matt Smith 'The 11th Doctor'

After the panel the kids were pretty much done, so we headed over to the hotel and took a dip in the pool. Oddly enough, we have been to enough hotels during Jaina's life that she always expects to be able to swim. So when I was looking for a hotel I made sure that there was an indoor pool, seeing as it was January.

Day 3: Saturday

Mara was really excited to meet Phoebe Tonkin from 'H2O: Just Add Water' 

a show about 3 girls that can turn into Mermaids.

Pat found an awesome Cosplayer of Zero from the Megaman video game.

Also on Saturday, Pat and I were able to meet Carrie Fisher aka 'Princess Leia' from Star Wars.

Oddly enough, I kinda met her on Friday in the bathroom when I was there 

with Jaina, but didn't know/realize it had been her until Saturday.

We got our family picture right before we left on Saturday. We decided that from 

now on we will only bring the little girls if we go up in the evenings, but not for an 

all day or all three days. They were really cranky and restless by the end of day 3. 

Thanks Salt Lake Comic Con FanX! It was fantastic as always! See ya in September!
