Eventful

Today the boys and I stayed busy -- we attended 2 different events happening through Provo City. (Ryan stayed home with a napping Elizabeth.) First, we went to the library for the Children's Book Festival. Each of the boys got to choose a free book. There were various authors and illustrators that were doing book signings, and we stopped to watch an illustrator, Guy Francis, in action.

It turned out that we inadvertently had gotten in line for the boys to request a drawing to take home! It was amazing to see how fast he could draw, and the boys love how their drawings turned out!

There were also various crafts and activities for the children to do. They made capes, bookmarks, and Skippy Jon Jones masks. There was also a game similar to Four Square.

When we were done at the library, we headed a few blocks southwest to the grand opening of the Utah Valley Convention Center. We ate free hot dogs and chips, and toured the new building. It is beautiful!
