Summer Reading

This morning during breakfast I told Aurora that we were going to the library later to see miniature horses, live music, bubbles and balloons. She got SO excited that she couldn't eat another bite. She went straight to the door and insisted it was time to go RIGHT NOW! Unfortunately, we were still in our pajamas and the summer reading kickoff party wouldn't start for 2 hours. This was a situation where a short attention span would've come in handy, but our girl stayed focused. When 10am rolled around we were ready to go, and the festivities did not disappoint.

There were all kinds of fun indoor and outdoor activities, snacks and games. Somehow, Aurora already knew how to hula-hoop. She won a book in the "book walk," and we decided to find a quiet place to try out our new read.

Then the star of the show arrived, Joe McDermott, a silly children's musician. We've actually seen him twice now, and this time we stuck around for a signed CD and a picture. Aurora wouldn't smile for the camera - she decided instead to stick her tongue out at him. He didn't seem to mind...

All in all, a very fun start to our Memorial Day weekend! Tonight we're going out on a date - dinner and a movie. Tomorrow and Monday, who knows? I guess you'll have to come back to find out.
