Festival of Books

Yesterday we took Kaylee to Utah's Festival of Books at BYU.  It was a blast and I'm really glad we went.  Don't worry- if you missed it, there is another one at the U in September.  We got a bunch of free stuff and even got two free books for Kaylee.  They had face painting, balloon animals, wheels you can spin to win prizes, cans to knock down for a prize, lots of activities for kids, and authors who were there to speak and sign autographs- all for free!  Can't beat that.  We stayed a lot longer than we had planned to and were exhausted and sunburned by the time we got home, but it was a great Saturday morning activity. 
 Coloring Kaylee's bookmark (AKA Richard coloring and Kaylee trying to eat the crayons...)


Pictures with a few of the characters walking around.  Kaylee wasn't too sure about them yet- she must be my daughter.  I don't want her to like those creepy things anyway :)

I'm so sad we missed it. Let me know when the one at the U is happening. Is there a website?

It's very nice to see Richard engaging with art and literature on a level that suits him so well.

We went too! Unfortunately I didn't have Jacob with me, so it was kind of hard to try to do all the things with Kyla wanting to run around, but she still had fun anyways. Great stuff!

How come you didn't get your picture taken with the characters, Kelli!! How did you convince Richard to do the dirty work!!!Glad you had a fun time.
