Wow, was yesterday a strange day in Cedar Falls and Waterloo!

I knew we were in trouble when we opened this mummy’s tomb!

With all of the scary movies I’ve seen, I should have knownbetter than to step foot in the pyramid in the first place!

But, no - we HAD to walk like Egyptians!

We pretended to be King Tut!

I even sat on his throne!

It was lots of fun…

Until the mummy kicked us out!

Luckily, everything worked itself out in the end,and kids were [...]

Wow, was yesterday packed with fun!Here’s how the day ended.

But the day started out in a very crowded Charles City Public Library.

Of course, there were puppets so we could tell the story of the doctor and the shark.

Remember: The Reading Road Trip isn’t just about family - it’s also about friends…

And puppets! How could I ever forget puppets?

Yesterday’s afternoon stop was in the mighty town of Marshalltown!

I received some high marks for my story timeand a high five from the town’s toughest [...]

When I’m not on the road this summer I like to relax by playing a good board game!

Why, just last night I claimed Cleopatra’s throne!

I braved the mighty Niagara in a canoe!

And returned with lots of precious jewels!

I invested those jewels in power plants and made a fortune!

The power plants had some plumbing problems, though!

No worries - I straightened them all out!

I ended the night leading a band of heroes to safety!

Board games are all about using your imagination,and when [...]
