Fun Times at the Library

We LOVE our local library. Not only is it very well stocked with all our favorite authors, but it has TONS of stuff for the kids to do. It is not your typical library. It has 2 Thomas train tables, a Lego table, an arts and crafts table, a puppet stage, a PlayStation, just TONS of stuff. The kids look forward to going to the library and we had not gone for a while due to all our other activities. Finally on Saturday we had some extra time in town between functions and we decided to go to the library. The kids had a blast and are already asking when they can go back. I took some pictures while we were there just so you all could see some of the fun stuff that my little ones enjoy. My teenager just enjoys going to the book section, picking our books and sitting down in the cozy chairs and reading the day away. My little ones go from one activity to another. Usually they start out with computer games and move on from there. Here is some of what they did that day.


After playing a Dora video game, drawing pictures at the art table, putting on a puppet show, then playing with trains, my 3yr old made it to the puzzles. This one is her FAVORITE puzzles to put together. They have a bunch of these floor puzzles that she loves to get out and we put together. We did pick out books first before she started all these fun activities. :)



After picking out her books and playing a computer game, my 7 yr old put on a puppet show for her sister and me. It was quite imaginative and funny. Her younger sister loves to get up close and personal with the puppets and sometimes joins in from this side of the stage. It is then that I have to break up the show. :)



And here you see my son whom after picking out his books signed up to play the PlayStation. He just loves the big screen TV they have! At home he has to settle for our little 10" TV. He thinks this is awesome. You can see my daughter in the background setting up for her puppet show.


We ended our day with baseball practice in which the girls and I went across the street to the park to play. His practice is about 2 hours long so I am glad the park is close. It was hot that day so we actually went over to watch him about half way through his practice so we could sit in the shade. I did snap a picture of my 3yr old on the swings. I think she liked the swings so much that day because she liked to feel the breeze cooling her off.


So it was a fun filled Saturday. Now we are gearing up for a friend of mine who is coming to visit. We are looking forward to that as we have not seen her in about a year and a half. I am sure she will be tired out when she goes back home after spending 4 days with this wild bunch!
