My Dad's 70th Birthday Surprise!

My brothers and I planned on flying out to surprise my Dad for his 70th Birthday. We actually were able to schedule our flights to arrive in El Paso about an hour apart. We then rented a car and drove to the house and surprised my Dad by knocking on the door. Thanks to my Mom, she was able to keep the whole weekend & the party a secret for about a year.





















Getting into the spirit of the party my Dad whipped out his Scottish hat.




Relaxing on the back porch.





On Mother's Day we went out to this area that was supposed to be a wetlands area. Lets just say it was the most interesting "wetlands area".













Wonder Con April 2010

We went to Wonder Con in San Francisco at the beginning of April. It was a nice change of pace from Comic Con. Where it did have some big name stuff, it was much more laid back and less stressful. We didn't have to spend lots of time just waiting in lines to get into panels.



We started the day off great by passing by Adam Baldwin's booth where he was signing autographs and taking pictures. He's currently on Chuck, but was awesome in Firefly/Serenity.
























Here's some people dressed up in all sorts of costumes.






































































We watched the Star Wars Clone Wars Cartoon panel.

There was a booth that was promoting Wii's Just Dance game. It was fun to watch and convinced me to buy the game.
