A Strange and Amazing Unbelievable story

One of the things I love about our family is that we are extremely creative and imaginative. The boys and I (and mommy) are always creating stories and coming up with wild and crazy things. That's where the idea for Andrew and Yeti's Strange and Amazing Unbelievable Story came from.

Xavier, Gideon and I were sitting at Gondolier's one day waiting for mommy when the idea hit Xavier. Originally he wanted to tell a story about a boy travening through space looking for the end of the universe. I told him that it sounded really cool and that he should write it down. IT was then that we decided to make it a summer project. So our goal is to have it finished by the end of the summer, or Labor Day.

The story has evolved and is now completely different. About the only thing that is the same is that it still about about a boy traveling but now he is with his faithful companion, Yeti. The two of them are...

Well we're just not going to tell you about their journey, you'll just have to read it. You'll have to see if it really is a Strange and Amazing Unbelievable Story. 

Here is the first page of our book (yes only one page). Click on the image to make it larger so you can read it. I'm hoping to publish a page every other day or so.

Xavier is the creative genius of our story, I am editing and transforming his wild imagination into comprehensible English. Giddy, Xavier, and I are collaborating on art direction and image layout. Finally, I am doing stick figure art to illustrate our story because that's about all I can really do in the short amount of time I have to work on it.

Hope you enjoy reading it as much as we're enjoying creating it!
