Week of the visiting librarys!

Last week we actually went to the library on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

Tuesday we headed downtown. We enjoy their storytime with the puppets and singing and juggling.

Here is Professor.

And Cedric the Dragon.


And they allow all the kids to come on and sit on the stage for the last song and they love that. It was very full so Batman sat on Ladybug's lap


Afterward, one of the guys had his guitar out and let the kids strum a few times.

They they had a craft afterward. Batman was all business, lets get this cut and glued and done.

Ladybug would have sat and colored and decorated for another 30 minutes.

Then we headed out to the fountain outside and had some lunch.


Batman actually snapped this picture. I think I will have two photographers on my hands as the kids get older.

And then we found the rolly pollies and I am sure this just made their day.




Batmans never did come out of the ball. Not sure it ever will.

Then we headed downstairs to their restaurant. Ladybug wanted some bread. She loves the bread and soup here, so I told her we could pick up some bread to take home. Welllll, we saw these chocolate covered strawberries and decided to have a snack.


Then she said she was still hungry so I broke down and bought her a cup of soup and she ate almost the whole thing. And that was after she had just eaten lunch!


We wore Batman out. He was asleep before we got home.

Then Wednesday we went to the White House summer story time kickoff and I am so glad we did. They had a ventriloquist that put on at least a 45 minute show. The kids loved it and I have never seen so many people at the WH story time before! But I left my camera in the car because I figured it would be a regular story time.

Then Thursday, we headed back downtown for the musical petting zoo. The Country Music Hall of Fame brought a bunch of instruments to the library for the kids to play. But we goofed a little. We met some friends there and it was so busy that we decided to eat lunch right outside and then come back in. Well, the kids found the rolly pollies again and I think we played with the bugs a little too long because they were still playing instruments when we went to wash our hands but when we came out of the bathroom, they were cleaning them up. So we didn't get to spend as much time as we wanted but the kids had fun anyways.






Bug time.

Isn't he a cutie!


I laugh everytime I take a "bug" or "flower" picture because Chris always says at the photographers meetings, the "older" people will put slide shows up of their butterfly and flower pictures and he thinks it is soooo borning to look at. But this bug pictures is purely for scrapbook keepsakes, it was what they were playing with!

Oh yea, and a snail.



Then they kids and walked across the street to check out the fountain in front of the library.

They are wearing their rain boots on this beautiful sunny and warm day because it was raining when we left the house. Actually it was pouring, lightening and thundering.

Neat picture painted on the side of the building.

Then I got a text that some friends were heading to Cornerstone after lunch. Well that is perfect, they were not worn out yet from the rolly pollies so we headed in the direction.
