Yesterday morning we shared a single photo of an awesome dad who built a power loader costume complete with a tiny Ripley, played, of course, by his own daughter. Yesterday afternoon, we received an email with a link to this video and a special message:

I check in with your site every day, and I was totally excited to see you posted the photo of my baby’s Alien Loader Halloween Costume! …I really appreciate all you do for girl geek culture. I secretly hope my daughter will grow up a proud girl geek of the type you promote every day.

And after that, of course we had to show it to you guys. Here’s a dad and his proud geek girl off to a very good start. (P.S., viewers, make sure you stay until the :37 mark.)
