THE NITTY GRITTY
HELLO

Hi. I'm Amanda...a happy wife and mom to three awesome guys. We've lived here in Fort Collins for more than 20 years and are proud to call it home. Before moving to CO, I worked at a city attorney's office, making use of my law and Master's degrees from Duke. After settling in Fort Collins, I homeschooled my three (now teenage and older) sons and was delighted to experience music classes, soccer, karate, swim team, archery, Science Olympiad, First Lego League, parkour, and climbing (not all at the same time!). From 2005-10, I was also a contributing editor for a national scrapbooking magazine, authoring a book and a couple of monthly columns. From 2009-10, I founded and ran the Good Grief Blog. I enjoy learning new things, spending time with my family, volunteering with The Matthews House, traveling and indoor rock climbing.

Mythbusters Live!

DateSaturday, January 14, 2012 at 10:08AM

So. On of our new things to TRY this past week was all about focusing on experiences instead of stuff. For Christmas, instead of yet more Legos, Nathan and I got the boys (and us) tickets to Mythbusters Live at the Budweiser Event Center. (The boys have LOVED Mythbusters for years and have watched pretty much every episode from all ten seasons.) The show was Thursday night. It was awesome! Here are the boys next to our seats just before the show started:


We had pretty good seats right on the floor...could see Adam and Jamie like this:

We watched as they involved audience members in fun experiments, answered audience questions and shared behind-the-scenes stories. Stuff like this:

 
Yup. Had a blast! (Micah declared it better than The Nutcracker and the Ringling Bros/Barnum & Bailey Circus combined, lol...so you know it must have been fabulous, because he loved both those other things plenty!)
