One Hot Festival of Books

A highlight of the weekend was our trek to the Festival of Books at UCLA. If it wasn't for the hot heat nightmare it would have been a joy to romp around my alma mater. Nothing puts me in a worse mood than excessive heat. It's not an easy stroll walking around like a zombie in an oven with two curious and overactive boys and a husband hell bent on checking in at every booth, but I survived. Honestly I should have stayed home, but I wanted to take some photos, or so I thought.


Trudging down Comic alley we bumped into Lela Lee creator of Angry Little Girls. Kenny even got a picture of me with her! She was so nice and accommodating, unfortunately or rather fortunately her booth was very busy and I didn't have much time to chat with her, or pause to really check out the cool books and merchandise she had available. Oh well... you can still do it online!


When we got to this booth Rhys was so intrigued. His eyes grew big as he wandered up to the booth, it didn't take much to persuade him to take a photo in costume along with the character!


Kenny scoped out every inch of the festival collecting names and numbers for marketing his BOOK! The book which is done, will arrive in a few weeks. All 1000 so copies! We're all extremely excited about it and have plans to place it for sale via the net as well as various shops around town. Will post the info as this work progresses.

We were soo happy to get home! I dunked Rhys immediately in the shower to cool him off. I made a batch of smoothies and we all just plopped ourselves in the garden under the pomello trees with a huge sigh. The heat was so stifling that Kenny devised another use for the garden cart. Rhys was in heaven, but it took some cajoling to get Henry to join in the fun.


If you've noticed that their hair looks a little tamer it's because, they both had haircuts this weekend courtesy of Grammie. After our eye exam on Saturday Angele dropped by to take the kids for haircuts and then lunch at IHOP. They were so happy to go on an adventure with Grammie.
