Summer Reading

I can hardly believe it's already the end of June! Once school got out for the year, I was a little concerned about how to fill the girls' time this summer. Now it seems like it's practically over, it's going so fast!

I have set up a schedule of sorts for the summer. The girls are helping me with the Hastings Farmers' Market on Tuesdays (we're selling homemade soap) and Nana and Papa generously signed the girls up for a music class on Wednesday mornings.

On the other days, we've been going to the zoo, or having play dates or going to the library.

The library is definitely one of the newer favorite things to do. They have a bunch of movies there the girls can check out for a week. And the library has a great summer reading program where the girls can earn prizes for every 5 hours of reading they do. This week they're going to cash in their first 5 hours and get a new prize! They're very excited...and truth be told, so am I. As soon as I heard there was a contest and it was a reading contest, I was all over it!

The library also had special activities throughout the summer. So far, we've seen a very funny juggler and we did an art day. The girls love going there and it warms my heart to see them love going to a place filled with books.
