The first Saturday of May every year is Free comic book day. 1) How cool is that? and 2) I had seen it advertised that The Core in Cedar Falls was going to have the original batmobile at their store that day, and thought since Evan has an obsession a love of superheroes, it would probably be something he would like.

We had no idea that there would be superheroes there too…Can you just tell by that little face that he is thrilled? Oh My Goodness. I only wish I could have seen it in person…but what a cool thing for Dad to take them to while I was at work on a Saturday!

And then…they spotted Captain America. My son was in heaven. Captain America is his absolute favorite.

In fact, one morning, he was watching an Avengers cartoon when i walked into the living room. I happened to notice that Captain America was on the tv. I said “hey look, it’s Captain America.” He replies “Nuh Uh…I’m Captain America.” Obsess much?

He even got to hold his shield. Heaven…um…yeah. He asks to see this picture all the time.

And awesome face painting too.

Thrilled doesn’t even begin to describe it. It was the best day of this kid’s little life.
