The Lost Hero

Rick Riordan (of Percy Jackson fame) released a new book this month, which means, of course...a World Release Party at Bookpeople! The kids live for these events (see past release party pics here and here), but unfortunately, this year's book party came on a day that the boys had baseball games. A friend was kind enough to take Avery, so at least she didn't miss out. (Many thanks to Courtney of The Woodland School for the kid toting and the fabulous photography!)

The party had fun activities set up: javelin throwing, an armory show, and an amazing face painter. The author also read from the book and had a long Q&A, for which the kids managed to squeeze up on the edge of the stage! After the party (they decided to forgo the long line to get their books signed) they wandered over to Whole Foods for dinner on the rooftop patio.
