Ethan had a living museum at school tonight. Each third grader got to choose an American Hero to report on. As you approached each child, they had a button on their hand, and when you pushed it they told you all about who their hero was. I saw and heard about quite a few, Martin Luther King Jrs', Helen Kellers', Jackie Robinsons', but I only heard from one Brigham Young. That's right Ethan chose to report on Brigham Young. Ethan told all about Brigham's 27 wives and 56 kids, when he was born, when he died, etc. If there is a Brigham Young fact, Ethan knows it and is happy to share it. We are glad that Ethan chose such an honorable hero to report on. As we were getting ready to leave, he said that he wants to meet Brigham Young someday! We told him he will in a long, long, long time....

Very nice. I would have left out the part about the 27 wives. THey don't even talk about it at the beehive house anymore.
That is such a cute story. I love that he is so proud of our history. What a great idea for a project sounds fun!!!
Talking about the 27 wives is awesome - it adds some spice and intrigue!
