We are super excited to start Family Fun's year long Badges of Fun challenge. During the year we will get the chance to earn 10 different badges by doing something as a family. This month was the Backyard Fun badge and we earned it by having a backyard campout. For safety reasons we did it at grandma's house. After roasting hot dogs and s'mores, we had a lot of fun using our new projector for our first outdoor movie night. The best part was when the kids fell asleep in record time sleeping on top of every blanket we own in the tent.
When grandma called and told us that Brandon Mull was going to be at the Orem library we knew that we had to make the trip to go see him. Anna has said that, "He is the best author in the whole world!" She was beyond excited to sit and listen to him talk about his stories and why he became an author. Dad bought her a copy of his new book (she wasn't able to finish it before school let out and had to return it to the library half finished) for him to sign. Being completely star struck made her freeze up and she just stood and smiiled at him when it came her turn. He was very nice and signed her book anyway.
