Libraries Summer Reading Program

We are fortunate that we live in a town that offers a lot of free activities for kids, one of them that we frequently visits are the library both  Fayetteville Public Library(south of us) and Springdale Public Library (north of us) for storytime for my kids.  And during summer they have a good summer reading program this summer the FPL summer reading program theme is "Dig Beneath The Surface" while SPL summer reading program theme is "Dig Into Reading" and they have all sorts of activities and program for all ages.  They have book reading program which you get a chance to win some cool prizes and also they have different activities or performers weekly.

On June 4th, 2013 we get to watch Leonardo perform in FPL.

On June 5th, 2013 we got to watch a duo from New York called The Pop Ups from FPL. The Pop Ups have received a GRAMMY nomination for their second family music CD, Radio Jungle. Not your typical band; The Pop Ups perform their music using cardboard props, hand-painted sets, and a colorful cast of original puppets; crafting a world of magic that engages, educates and delights all ages. 

The kids got a photo op with them since we bought a CD and a shirts.

While at SPL we got to watch the Institute of Jugglology.

Christmas on Thanksgiving Day

Since Sarah and her family moved to Colorado we celebrated Christmas with the family during Thanksgiving since they are unsure of the weather up north.

We gathered at my in-laws house in Chouteau, OK for a meal then we gave our gifts to Sarah and her family, we saved the gifts for mom and dad and same thing with them because we will have our Christmas with them during Christmas day.

And for some unknown reason I don't have good pictures of the rest of the gang.
