| The Walter E. Washington Convention Center was this year's venue. Bob Staake's awesome poster greeted us on our approach. |
 |
| Our day started around 10am with Kate DiCamillo, the current National Ambassador for Young People's Literature. |
 |
| My daughter got her copies of The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane and Because of Winn Dixie signed! |
 |
| My youngest daughter was looking good while waiting in the autograph lines. |
 |
| Molly Idle signed 3 books for us; Flora and the Flamingo, Zombelina, and Circus Fantastico. |
 |
| My wife got to meet Captain Underpants. |
 |
| My boys chose to meet Dav Pilkey instead! |
 |
| Goofing around sometimes doesn't sit well with a 9-year-old. |
 |
| We heard Theodore Taylor III talk about his book When the Beat Was Born. He was awarded the Coretta Scott King - John Steptoe Award for New Talent because of this book. |
 |
| Now my nine-year-old is smiling! |
 |
| We met Brian Lies! He shared his birthday for our Happy Birthday Author blog! |
 |
| Theodore Taylor III signed our book, too!! |
 |
| The highlight of the day for my daughter came around 6:30pm when she got to hear Raina Telgemeier speak. Can you see the excitement in her posture? |
 |
| Raina kicked off the Graphic Novel Super Session. It was insane! I have never seen so many kids excited about books in one room! |
 |
| A dream come true! |
 |
| Happiness! (Look at the line of people waiting to get books signed!!) |
 |
| We finished up the day by riding all the escalators at the Convention Center. It was a reward for my youngest daughter. She was so good all day! |
