Although we have our own superhero in our house, we took the opportunity to go see some other superhero at the Mavel Comic Live production. Conner and Gavin were in wondered amazement as Spiderman dropped from the ceiling on web strings, and hulk flipped in the air on his dirt bike, and the fought the villains. Alexis enjoyed it for a while, but then promptly fell asleep, which we were fine with as there were strobe lights, which can induce seizures, so we kept covering her eyes anyway. It was a blast.
Afterward, Conner asked, "Mom, were those superheros real?" Since I promised never to lie to the kids, I responded, "No, they were just dressed up like the characters," which was met by a very sad looking face. We then had a big discussion on how they know their lines and what a play was. After several questions and thinking, he promptly said, "Well, at least I know Mickey and Cinderella are real." Since it wasn't a question, I just left it at that.
What a great day and amazing acrobatics.
