As I mentioned before, our summer reading program has begun. Yesterday was our first "Library Day" The theme this year is something like: Get a Clue. So, on Friday, it was all about getting a clue about the Aztecs. But lets back up a bit.
During the summer, we have free lunch in the park every day for children 1-18. (I know! Awesome!) We met Gwen, Emily, and Bridget in the park for lunch and then Gwen, Bridget, and I walked to the library with our kids. Cooper was not so fond of the idea and so my incredible husband came and picked him up and took him to work with him. (I know, I'm spoiled!) This is why it was just a mommy-me day. It was so wonderful to spend a whole day with just Kameryn.
Now, back to the library. We met and read stories before heading off into the different booths they had set up for us. We also got to sit and watch a lady do an Aztec dance. From that moment Kameryn was mesmerized. She thought the lady was so beautiful and couldn't wait to go dance with her. (That was one of the activities at one of the booths. See the video below. She had to go back 3 different times. She loved it! I think we have a dancer on our hands. . . sorry the video is tilted...)
At the different booths the had headdresses (ribbons according to Kameryn) that the kids could make, face painting, a market where the kids could exchange their beans for prizes, and of course, dancing. Kameryn loved every minute of it. She even won a book in the drawing they do each week. She had such a wonderful time.
After Library we played on the swings until Daddy came and got us and then we went to the co-op and got treats. When we got home we spent the remainder of the afternoon playing in Kami's new pool. It was a very long day, but such a wonderful one. Kami and I had such a good time together! We love our town. It is full of the best things, the best activities, and the best people. We are truly blessed!
