My name is Justine Frantz, and I'll be guest blogging for my dad this morning as he is apparently still recovering from something he called 'Wally World' which I assumed was an amusement park but he assures me that while punctuated with screams and prizes it was definitely not.
As he wanders about moaning and squinting at bright lights, I thought it would be a good time to update everyone on the other convention going on down here - the Future Leaders of ICS Convention and Romper Festival. The meeting this year included me, plus the Rubin boys, Nathan and Benjamin. Sadly Jansen and Jace Joss had a prior commitment at Alliterative Namefest 2009 in Walla Walla, Washington.
We've had a great and productive time so far. Nathan has taken the lead with his apple juice initiative and I have been pushing for more bathtime and less naps. Benjamin is the thinker of the group, always quietly pondering the ramifications of our plans and occasionally
running in circles while laughing.
It hasn't been all business though. Our adult helpers ('Mommies') have facilitated several pool parties, a trip to the beach, a throughly engaging public service project building houses for disadvantaged seagulls, and an ice cream social.
The convention winds down today for us, but I think it's been a productive and enjoyable time for all. I look forward to working with all of your children in the distant future when you and my Dad get too old and begin to refer to common items as 'newfangled.'
