I was invited to be the guest at the Chicago Toy & Game Fair's exclusive  Media/Blogger Preview Event at Navy Pier in downtown Chicago, Il courtesy of , and it was really very interesting and HUGE!  I couldn't believe the things that were there.  I had a blast with my daughter (NightOwlMaMa) and two of my grandchildren.  My daughter went one way with my grandson and my granddaughter and I went the other!  So come on & join us.  Let's go this way: 

Booths were everywhere, and real quick I have to tell you when I went there I had forgotten to charge my battery for my camera & a really nice lady behind the food stand plugged it in for me & 15 minutes later WAH LA PICTURES!!!  Thank you again to that very nice lady! 

She's a big "Hello Kitty" fan!

There were tables to actually sit down & play the game.  Telestations.com

WHOA! ~

Lego Santa & there's Sponge Bob

Just catching a second wind here! lol

I have so many pics we could be here all day.  From new trains & remote controlled helicopters that they were flying around the room to little jeeps the kids could actually ride & drive.

Sponge Bob & my darlings! Legoland

We sat & played games, laughed and even bought a few to help ol' Santa out if ya know what I mean.  These games were mind blowing at times, and a few I just didn't get, but my granddaughter sure did.  haha-

So as I said we could be here all day with the pictures I took, but for now let me mention a few favorites of mine.  They were just too cool.  Domestic Executive Online (Embracing Blissful Everyday Fabulosity),  GriddlyGames, Flipoutz (a favorite), Zobmondo (Party Gras - cool game we played), Slooks, 

The Midwest Garrison,

Perplexus

and  Floppets. 

I so love games & to be at a place with all new ones I was like a little kid at a candy store, and they even sat, and played with us to show us how the game worked & on top of all that guess who was there?

So my friends, if you like toys & games, if you want on hand experience, if you want a great time with your kids if Chitag contacts you for a Chicago Toy and Game Fair get ready for the time of your life.  Don't hesitate just go for it!  MERRY CHRISTMAS EVERYONE!

Ooops One more, totally cool

Now, I may have been a bit busy the past few weeks with family business (death in the family as you all know & I cooked the Thanksgiving Holiday & getting up decorations & top of it all a trip to the ER due to a bad reaction on a prescription of mine), BUT I don't forget anyone that was so kind to me, and my family who sponsored us for such a wonderful fun trip!  Thank you Chitag (MaryKay) you're the best!  We had a blast, and it was extremely interesting, but most of all fun!  If you ever get the chance to do something like that next year GO!  YOU WON'T REGRET IT!  WOO HOO!
