Lubbock Arts and Comic Book Festival 2012

Today we went to the Arts Festival which also includes the Comic Book and a costume contest! We saw lots of neat art work, and lots of pretty jewelry! But for us the cool part was the people in costumes! My oldest son Chris put on his Storm Trooper costume; Aj, my baby, put on his Jawa costume. Walking around the exhibits and having people want to take pictures is always a lot of fun.

At the last minute we decided to enter AJ into the costume contest. AJ wasn't so sure, but I convinced him. I'm glad I did, because there weren't many kids in his age bracket, and he wound up winning 1st place!! I'm so proud!!!

Here are some pictures:

AJ the Jawa!

As you can, many people dressed up, and Star Wars was well represented!  Amelia is being held prisoner!

Now, I'm being held!

AJ won a really cool toy for his prize, he's quite excited and having fun playing with it. It is a motorized Actuator expanding set. Not bad for someone who really wasn't sure about entering a contest!

So, how was your Saturday?

Lego Arts Festival

Last weekend was the Arts Festival. It featured Lego Art!! Well I bet you know where this is going!
I wasn't able to go, I still can't walk well enough without aid, and going to a big exhibit was not for me. Chris took the kids with some other friends. Along with the art display was also a comic book convention. People were dressing up, soooooo, out came the Storm Trooper, and the Jawa!




Now, what is so cool, the picture that Chris is holding..... was drawn right there by an artist while Chris and AJ posed in costume! Not only is it an original piece of artwork, and Star Wars, but it is of Chris and AJ!!! Pretty awesome, I think!

Please remember, I was not there, some of these pictures, most in fact, are blurry. The kids even some friends kids were taking the pics!




I would have laid on the ground to take this photo! A lego pencil writing the word yes!



Half real bike, half lego bike! Cool!



Hmm, I guess when you are made of legos you risk coming apart at the seams?!!

Well, I tried to pic the unblurry pics, I have a ton more but they are not too good, so I will leave it at this! The kids had a great time. Wish I could have made it.

Are your kids hung up on Legos?
