Celebrating the Release of Nick’s Eggciting Adventure!
Some milestones represent more than a single accomplishment. They represent a lifetime of experiences, memories, and stories waiting to be shared. Nick is bringing his own story to life through the release of his second children’s book, Nick’s Eggciting Adventure!
A few weeks ago, we celebrated the release of Nicks Eggciting Adventure!, a children’s book inspired by Nick’s own life and experiences growing up in Africa. Nick’s journey is uniquely his own, and his book offers a meaningful opportunity to share his story with others. The book release celebration marked a special milestone in Nick’s life. Seeing his personal experiences come to life, through another published book was an opportunity to recognize his accomplishments, celebrate his story, and share something deeply meaningful with the community.
For Nick, seeing his story become a published book; represents an opportunity to share a piece of himself with the world. Through Nicks Eggciting Adventure!, readers are invited to learn about Nick’s life, connect with his experiences and appreciate the importance of sharing stories from different perspectives. His accomplishments are a reminder that everyone has a story worth telling and that our experiences can inspire connection, understanding and a greater appreciation for one another. We are grateful to everyone who joined us to celebrate this milestone with Nick!
A special thank-you goes to Kaitlyn Birdsall for bringing Nicks Eggciting Adventure! to life through her beautiful illustrations. Her creativity and artistic vision helped transform Nick’s experiences into a visual story that readers can connect with and enjoy. We are grateful for the time, talent, and dedication that went into making this book a reality. Thank you for helping bring Nick’s story to life and for being an important part of this special milestone!
This book wouldn’t be possible without his amazing job coaches, who help Nick express his awesome ideas. A very heartfelt thank you goes to Audrey Hendricks, whose guidance, encouragement, and dedication played an essential role in bringing not only the books Helping In Action and Nicks Eggciting Adventure! to life, but also supporting Nick for many years throughout his journey. Her support throughout the past 18 years helped make this and many other incredible milestones possible. Behind every meaningful accomplishment is often someone who believes in us, encourages our growth, and helps us turn our goals into reality. We are incredibly grateful for Audrey and her commitment and wish her the best of luck on her new adventure!
Congratulations to Nick on this incredible accomplishment! We look forward to seeing his story reach different readers and continue to make an impact!
Trunk or Treat fun in the Spooky Season!
I hope you have a fun and safe Holiday. I had a great time this year participating in two local Trunk or Treat events.
The first one we joined was with Fort Collins Best located at the Holiday Twin Drive In Theater in Fort Collins, and boy was it big! We had over 600 kids visit our fishing booth!
Niki and Olivia came and helped manage the crowds! It was cold, but that didn’t stop all the kids from joining!
We met some really great people at the Trunk or Treat, and had constant lines of kids that wanted to try our game!
Nick met a few families dressed in group costumes! He really loved the Little Mermaid themed family that included Ursula!
His former speech therapist, Mallory, stopped by with her kids! They had grown a lot since he’d seen them last!
Nick’s favorite part of this Trunk or Treat was meeting the wolf from the Red Riding Hood story at the very end of the day! Here he is trying to be brave, with Niki by his side helping him to meet the Big Bad Wolf!
Last weekend, Nick joined Pharoah’s Car Club to have another booth at their Trunk or Treat!
Nick’s Aunt Jodie joined the fun, and Nick was very proud to show off his booth to her!
The booth was a lot of work, so this Fisherman had to take a quick break with his pipe!
Nick braved meeting BeetleJuice, but he didn’t stay with him long!
He loved all the creative awesome cars that were at the Trunk or Treat!
Fisherman, Brendan, Nick’s newest job coach, joined us in the sea for the event!
Thank you to all the members of Pharoah’s Car Club for inviting Awesome in Action to this event! Here we are with Beverly, the chapter president! These folks are always so kind and accomodating!
Have a safe and happy Halloween all of you awesome people!
