The Library

We love the library & are always so excited to sign up for the summer reading programs that the local libraries offer. The amazing prizes they give out are a great incentive to read lots and lots of books. So this summer we spent a lot of time reading thousands of pages of so many, many books. We discovered some new favorite series along the way.





We gained a newfound respect for all those working at library who kept the shelves stocked with so many great books. Thank goodness for those summer volunteers they have! Our favorite volunteer was a kid named Michael...maybe you've met him too?






Michael logged 33.5 hours of volunteer work this summer at the library, going in to work at least twice a week for the 2 1/2 months of the reading program. He capped off the summer by working one of the children's games at the end-of summer party. Needless to say, that was our favorite stop at the party!








When they wern't busy hitting up Michael's game spot, Jake spent most of the evening dancing up a storm with the children's librarian & Luke was busy stealing Jake's drink.






Yay for books and fun libraries!

Summer Reading Program

I love the Summer Reading Programs at the libraries here. They have great promotions and activities all summer, plus great prizes the kids can earn by reading books. And did I mention it is FREE and AIR CONDITIONED?!



Monday we went to the library to get more books and Trevor noticed that they were starting a magic book show in 30 minutes. So we stuck around and it was great! Trevor was picked as a volunteer and was so funny. It was a great show!
