It's been quite a busy week! Last weekend we were at convention in Mishawaka, IN. Probably some of you from Mishawaka convention have already stopped by my site before I had a chance to get this entry posted...as I said it's been a busy week.
My girls have been wanting to come to a convention and help so this was their first convention. They were so excited. They had their clothes laid out the night before. We all had to match. You can see from the picture the theme was black/red and white. I wore just the black and white. The mistake with that was they wore their boots so I wore mine, problem was my boots have heels. My feet sure hurt that night!
They had a really good time and for the most part didn't get too bored. This convention does offer a vendor room with food so that made it a big hit with them. They also found several things in the free books at the used book booth. One was a complete works of Shakespeare which we're studying coming up in history so that was a great find!
We got to take in the main session on Friday night and I really enjoyed (as always) chatting with lots of homeschoolers on Saturday! The Friday night session was on the Reformation. When it started one of the kids leaned over and said, "What's the reformation?" It was a bit over their head. We are getting to that period in history next year so it might have made more sense to them then, however, he did talk about some of the martyr's we read about in Fox's book of Martyr's this year. We quizzed them on the car ride home and they actually had paid better attention and "caught" more than we thought so we rewarded the kids with a stop for ice cream.
All in all a great convention!
