Friday, November 16, 2007 - Convention Day 3

The first full day of the convention and it started with me being the first one at the stand so I got everything organized and waited for the rest to show up. While I was waiting I talked with some interesting people about possibly bringing some kids during the summer and wanting to know what they could do while they were there. The rest of the crew showed up between 8:30 and 9, as well as most of the people walking around so it was nice to have some re-enforcements/more educated people. Not much to tell for Friday, I spent most of the day babysitting Ne Ne and Josiah, and visiting with friends that are here for the convention. I opted not to go to any of the workshops because I was having too much fun with the kids and the staff and I am such a people person that that fun never ended with all the people coming in to talk. At noon we all went over to the food court for lunch which was absolutely packed but really good, and it was amazing that we found seating for 7 plus the little ones. After lunch Rachel, Andrea, Erin and I took Ne Ne and Josiah from Heather and Janeil for a while. Between 2 and 5 I sat at the booth with the kids and chatted with people that work with the mission in one way or another. Dinner on Friday was AWESOME, because we had Skyline Chili, which I had not had in a very long time. Rachel had never been there before so I was insanely jealous that she got to experience it for the very first time. After dinner I spent the remainder of the night at the booth. It took me 25 minutes to find my way out of Cincinnati because I do not remember the route anymore. I made it just fine and spent about a half hour chatting with the Mussers and then hit the sack. Peace.
