Today was our local library's Summer Reading Program Party.
It was held at one of our favorite places in Faulkton--the Happy Times Carousel! Even though she is not old enough to be in the reading program, Rachel could not wait until 10:30am so she could "ride a horse!"
There are so many benefits to being the baby of the family.
(Of course, I wouldn't know, but I observe.)
The party was made complete with prizes--Teresa's 4th place finish in the coloring contest and Landen's 5th place in number of books read in his age group--and snow cones with literally every flavor of the rainbow to choose from.
As our kids have gotten older and more responsible with things like library books, I have really come to appreciate the library. My big 3 love to visit during their off-time from swimming lessons, or anytime for that matter. I've never been one to keep my children--or anyone--from a book or two! And the thing is, my boys will walk in the library, open a book, and read!
I don't know why, but they do. And it is awesome.
There are so few places to take multiple children that don't cost a fortune AND are beneficial. Our library also has great children's programs in the summer to supplement the reading program and Story Hour for preschoolers during the school year.
