Harry Potter... The Preparation

Historically Virginia and I are pretty close to the last ones to go to a special event and stand in a way-too-long line to be among the first to do anything. We never see a movie it's first weekend (usually not its first month)... we never are among the first to own new technology... and we've always been able to wait until another day to buy a clothing item or a book. However, it's funny how things change when a grandson is involved. Last night we were enthusiastic participants in the Harry Potter festivities at the local Barnes and Noble. OK, maybe the enthusiastic part wained a little by 1:00 a.m., but it was still fun. Here are some getting ready pics.

Oh, those are great pictures! We didn't dress up, but the 3 younger kids wore their "I solemnly swear I am up to no good/Mischief managed" shirts. We went to the local Borders, where some of our neighbors were going as well. Since I had pre-ordered through Amazon, we didn't stay for the whole thing. We would have been some of the last to get our books if we'd tried to buy a copy there.

Hope Kaleb likes the book as much as I did! (Yeah, I finished it last night.)
