Michael Vey 6 Launch Party Field Trip
Book Launch Field Trip
I love that our field trips can happen anywhere, anytime! Dad got to come with this time. Alia is so excited that she has gotten dad into reading a book series that she loves! They had to get two books, so they could read, at the same time!
We have been into this series, from the beginning. Though, I don’t think we knew what we were getting into at the time. We had heard a little about Richard Paul Evans’, new, teen book that was coming out and had a spark of interest. Then one day at Costco, people were starting to line up for a book signing. We decided to go with it and got a signed book for all of our older girls. Much to Alia’s dismay; we didn’t think she would enjoy them yet. Boy, were we wrong.
We have since corrected this injustice and she has her own signed copies of the first, second, third, fourth, fifth, and now sixth books of Michael Vey. Our neighbor is good friends with Richard Paul Evans and arranged for her to have the books (that were unsigned), signed by him and she delivered a letter to him that Alia had written about how she is his biggest fan! He also signed her book in Taiwanese.
The Launch Party
The show was great and it was so fun to hear from Richard Paul Evans. It was fun to hear about the fan letters and how broken up everyone is about Wade. He said it was funny because he never thought of Wade as a favorite character. Yet, girls have written him dismayed that he killed of their “boyfriend” and ways that he could bring Wade back into the series. He made it clear that there will never be a “Zombie Wade”! Made us laugh hard!
Today, is a planned reading-a-thon day. How could it be anything else?! Oh, the injustice that she has to take a break and go to Seminary and has a Homeschool teen activity this evening. I love that my kids absolutely love to read and devour books!

Our first day of homeschooling, 2016! The great thing about homeschooling is we can begin our school year on any day! This year has been especially crazy! My second to oldest, daughter is getting married in October and we are knee deep in wedding planning. My 3rd daughter is heading off to her first year of college, 2 hours away. The public school started on the day before we moved my daughter to college. I try to do our school close to what the public school is, so my daughter can do things with her friends when they have breaks.
They were great and we loved their costumes! Maybe one year we will dress up.
They have to be hot! We were really hot waiting in the sun! I can’t imagine what it would be like wearing that metal suit!
the opposing knight a target to aim for.
This picture is just cool; being able to see the splintering of the jousting sticks! That flying wood can cause injuries too. They guy in the wizarding hat is Merlin.
