Pi Day!

Did you know that March 14th is Pi day?! Well neither did we. That is until Robby's friend Dallin called to tell Robby that he saw it mentioned on the internet! Why March 14th? Pi is 3.14 so the date 3-14 is only appropriate. Knowing this Robby just had to celebrate ...

by wearing his Pi shirt (which is the pi symbol formed by about the first several thousand digits of pi... he is wearing it in this picture)...

and buying little personal pies from the store which he carved a pi symbol on the top of each one.

You might be wondering why would we go to the trouble of celebrating such an interesting day, well in middle school Robby along with several friends found great fun in seeing how many digits of pi they could memorize. Robby's desire to memorize pi has stood out over time in the minds of some of his siblings and close friends. Fortunately since then Robby has gone on to more worthwhile pasttimes although don't be surprised if we honor this day in the future. If you want to join us just make sure that your celebration starts at 1:59am (you know 3.14159!)
