Wimpy Kid

A couple of weeks ago, I let it slip that Jeff Kinney, the author of the New York Times bestselling series "Diary of A Wimpy Kid" was going to be at the Tattered Cover in Denver. Noah latched onto the idea that we would be going to meet him and get a booked signed. Well, the big day came and neither Jen nor I waned to battle rush hour traffic in and out of Denver. So we decided we weren't going to go. Then Jen went to pick up the kids from school.

Evidently Noah had spent his entire lunch hour walking from classroom to classroom asking the kids if they had any of the Wimpy Kid books they wanted him to get signed. He showed up at the car with 2 grocery bags full of books. Off to Denver!!

As expected, it was a long drive for Jennifer, and a long wait in line. But it was well worth it. Kinney had brought along his two brothers that the kids also got to meet. When they finally reached the front of the line, Kinney signed all the books the kids brought! Amazing. The boys were thrilled to meet him, and Noah was a very popular kid the next day at school.
