Hobbit Days

September 22 was Hobbit Day. But the fun began before that day.

Nichole and Jr. did a program with the Orem Library where they read the book, "The Hobbit," which earned them a hobbit button and entries into prize drawings. They got to go to a "Party in the Shire" where they played games and did other activities to earn rings. Jr. won a prize drawing- a pack of Lord of the Rings playing cards.

Jr. Jr. and Lucky went to a similar event for their age group where they played games, did crafts, ate snacks, and also got rings.

 

On Hobbit Day itself, I shared some pictures on Instagram of an art project Nichole did out of one of The Lord of the Rings books. It is the journey of the fellowship of the ring.

By the way, this year is the 10th anniversary of Balloon Bag End, when Jeremy built Bilbo Baggins' hobbit hole out of balloons in our living room. Wow. A lot has happened with balloons since then. Balloon Bag End itself got a lot of notice. Jeremy did lots of interviews from places around the world. Ripley's Believe It or Not showed a picture of Balloon Bag End as a two-page spread in the book, "Dare to Believe." Lots of neat things.
