#fanX16 #epic

It is no great secret that we are a family of geeks. We embrace it and aren't afraid to show it. Our home is decorated with subtle and not so subtle tributes to the fandoms that  we love and the majority of our dress ups have something geeky about them.  To celebrate our geekiness we took the kids to Salt Lake FanX this last week. The tickets were part of their Christmas this last year and we were super excited to go.

We got the Gold tickets this year which let us in a little earlier as an added bonus FanX was over spring break so no one had to get out of school early or take a costume to school.  We enjoyed time together walking the convention floor, snapping pictures, and enjoying panels with our favorite authors and actors. It was a fabulous family filled weekend.  Matt was the only one who wanted to be in pictures...I promise the others were there. They are just a bit more camera shy.

It is rare that I have a picture of all of us at the same time looking at the camera. This one is
totally going in a frame. 

Day one found us with 2 Harry Potters, Anna, and Elsa. Not pictured- Batgirl Abby

The boys did Super Hero training, a yearly favorite. They were both awesome. 

This shows both their personalities so well. I love it. 

Matt was super excited to run into Kylo Ren! We had to take a picture

Jedis and troopers were good to pose with too. 

The girls had fun seeing other Anna and Elsa's

This was Matt's favorite moment. I thought he was going to die of happiness
when he saw all the spidermans sitting together. 

Day two- Captain America! 

Some of the costumes are just awesome. I have no idea
how long this woman worked on her costume but it was great. 

This is how Abby and I rolled baby in the front back pack in the back!

Matt's favorite moment of Day 2 seeing Ant Man and Cap! Guess
which side he is on in the up coming Marvel Civil War? 

Look, I captured the girls (Katniss and Red Riding Hood with the Silence)

Day 3- Spider Man

James actually volunteered to be in a Trivia contest during a Michael Vey panel I was so proud of him. 

Thanks FanX, we love getting our geek on and we'll see you next time!
