Denver Comic Con

Uncle Adam is a storyboard artist who has worked on many films (Despicable Me, Epic, and Robots to name a few). He is also in high demand. So when Denver decided to start their own Comic Book Convention, he was invited to teach a class on How to Draw Manga. He and his family came out last year for it but we were unable to join them since Patrick was just born. We were told it was very kid friendly and Charlotte had a blast. So when they came back this year, we joined them on Saturday. It was like nothing I had ever seem before and was a very entertaining event.

It's a big deal. There was a huge line to get in and was already so full at 11am they stopped letting people in. Since we were with a celebrity (Uncle Adam, artist extraordinaire) we got special treatment, which included entering side doors and skipping lines. Joe loved it.

Lots of people dressed in costume (most of which I didn't know who they were) but it made for some good people watching.

They also had a whole section just for kids activities. That is where we spent most of our time.

Making masks....

shields....

coloring balloons....

(Minion sighting!)

and building things. 

This was Daniel's favorite. He sat at this table for over 30 minutes, which never happens with anything.

The kids also got their faces painted. Josh had his eyes closed for so long while she painted his face, he fell asleep. Nothing like a power nap!

We even got to go to Adam's class. I still don't think I am able to draw but he at least made it look not so hard. 

We also made it over the hotel they were staying at for some pool time. We also had dinner at Sam's No. 3 diner which was featured on Food Network's Diners, Drive-ins, and Dives. 

It was a fun weekend and we are looking forward to going again next year.
