Noelle Pikus-Pace

Morgan was so excited when he found out that Olympian Noelle Pikus-Pace was coming to little ol' Grangeville to share her inspirational story.  And this was happening on his birthday!

In case you're wondering why Noelle would want to come to Central Idaho:  her brother is a doctor in Cottonwood.  Morgan shared his classroom with Dr. Pikus' twin daughters so they had fun watching Noelle win her silver medal in the Skeleton race.


So, we had some cake and ice cream at Grandma's.


And some present opening, we went to listen to what Noelle Pikus-Pace had to say.  (He likes his new Vandal shirt, doesn't he?)



She was a great speaker.  Very inspiring and upbeat.  She went through a lot to get to the medal podium, and has such a positive outlook on life and the struggles that come with it.  She encouraged us to make a difference in the world and share our talents.


Morgan loved her talk and even got to ask a question during the Q and A.  It was a great end to his birthday.
