A while back I had heard about this Pokémon event that was coming up at the Orem Library. It was supposed to have games, crafts, prizes, just lots of fun. Even though Orem isn't SUPER close, I thought the kids would absolutely LOVE going to this.
Let me say, this is a WAY cool library! SO much bigger than ours (I knew ours wasn't huge, but I didn't realize how small it really is). It was two levels and I would say our library was about 1/3 the size of just one of the levels. They had a fun kid area where they could play a little and climb and had HUGE chairs. Oh man it made me really wish we could get a card to that one and start going.

The Pokémon event was in the back area, kind of in a city center building just off the library. That had some fun art to look at, but they also set up a bunch of tables for the craft (how to draw certain Pokémon), a fun scavenger hunt (I guess Eevee has like 9 evolutions so you had to find all of them and add it to this paper Pokedex). They had some fun ping pong games and a spin the wheel for a prize area. The kids ended up sitting at a table and showing all these other kids their collection of cards. They all had SO much fun with it.
I ended up visiting with another mom where we talked about home schooling (she does it and I am interested in the information, but I don't think I could actually do it). It was fun visiting for all of us. Larry took Pierce to the play area while the girls played with cards and I stood near them.
It was hard to tear them away, but I hope I'm able to find more of these events. A bonus, for me, is that I've been wanting to do more things in Provo/Orem/Spanish Fork (more south than us) just so we can explore more of Utah County. We came from Salt Lake County and we're so used to things in that area we hardly get to things more in ours so this was nice to see more of those places.
