Sorry for the inactivity. I just got back from a big event that Richard was in and I had a fun time! For the 4 days, I was invited by Richard and his mom to attend the Tierrma's Lab-Con! It's where the best inventors around Tierrma go and show off their newest inventions to help revolutionize the way we live. Richard always wanted to go into one of these since his mom Ruthiea would go to them as well. He also wanted to publicly show off his "Aerote". The Aerote is like a mini-helicopter that can be called automatically with the press of a button. It also does some silly faces; which is a big chunk of the reason its called the Aerote. Lab-Con had many interesting things like a teleporter that can warp someone from one side to another, a Smeltzer (a machine that can create scents with a picture of a food), and an egg machine that can perfectly crack an egg without its inside turning out mushy. There was a bit of a contest at Lab-Con where the people who attended the event would vote on the best invention for the year, and the winner would receive both a trophy and a 500 dollars. Richard's mom was considering cheating by calling all of her family and friends to vote on the Aerote, but I wanted Richard to win fairly so I talked with her to stop it from happening and she agreed. At the end of the convention (which I think was maybe 10 or so hours), me and the Remmingtons went straight to the center to see who the winner was. And the fan choice winner was.... THE AEROTE!!! Me, Richard, and his mom were jumping up in down with joy! I got a piggyback off of Richard's mom and I was able to take a photo of Richard with his trophy! We soon found out that someone was doing the same thing that Richard's mom was doing originally winning the votes, but since they weren't at Lab-Con, the votes weren't accepted. Richard was very enthusiastic with Lab Con, and really wants to attend again next year! That does make me wonder what the next doo-hicky thing Richard will make.
