Summer Is Here!

Summer is in full swing even if the calendar doesn't truly reflect it. When the heat index is over 100, it is summer in my book. This morning we went to see the Dairy Cow at the library. It was the same one that we saw last year (for the Library reading prgram) but Ryan didn't really remember it and Aiden certainly didn't. But I remembered that it was so hot last year so I decided to be about 30 minutes late. That way we missed the boring beginning and they boys still got to see the cow being milked and get the cookies and milk snack. It was easy fun and got the boys tired out so we came home for lunch and then Aiden's nap.

The pictures are foggy because my camera was in the cold van and then the heat and humididty messed up the lense.--told you it was hot! Just as the kids were lining up to pet the cow, she freaked out and slipped in the trailer. She ended up cutting her leg and getting all worked up. So the last picture shows how they had to cool her down with a water hose.

Summer Church Reading Program

Ok we may have bitten off more than we can chew with these reading programs. We signed up for the Trussville Public Library reading program, and now our church is having a reading program too. Both have fun activities so it was so tempting to sign up for both, but the competitive nature in me might get the best of us. I think Ryan is going to take after me too. He has always loved books, but we are reading books non-stop now. Yesterday was the kick-off at church and you can see some of the fun carnival pictures. They each got a library bag and got to paint it, along with a clown show, bubbles, popcorn, decorating a picture frame, facepainting, and more.

Summer Reading Program at the Library

We went to the library yesterday to pick up some books we had on hold and it just happened to be the day to sign up for the Summer Reading Program. We were so excited because they had some fun activites (always good for preschoolers). Ryan thought he was so cool when he got his face painted like spiderman. They also had popcorn, lemonade, free book giveaways, inflatables, etc. It is such a great program because they have all kinds of fun things scheduled for the summer like puppet shows, petting zoos, magicians, etc. And the best part: its free! Yeah, we have something to do this summer!
