Day in Butte

We went for a walk around Butte this morning.  We stopped off in the library and found Dobby.  The kids had to get a picture because Aunt Paige loves Dobby.  I don't even think I emailed it to her. When we finished our walk, my brother, Chris, and his wife, Julia, came with their kids.  We went to a splash pad in town.  Clayton and his family came too.  The kids had fun in the water even though it wasn't quite hot enough to really enjoy it.  They ended up going to the playground at the park nearby.  My kids got to play on toy structures that are from the 70s.  These types have been removed from most parks at least in the places we've been.

Library with Friends

This afternoon, I picked up 2 of the kids' friends to go to the library program with us.  Their older sister had some teeth removed and was recovering.  They had a puppet program for elementary age kids.  I sent them all in and had a quiet hour.  

Summer Reading Program

The summer reading contest at the local library started last week.  I signed Lexi and Jordan up.  We went to the library today so they could pick up their awards.  They get something for every set of 5 books they read.  Jordan completed the whole contest.  Lexi has read 10 books (half the requirement for the summer) so far.  It isn't fair to compare them though.  Jordan is reading rather simple books and Lexi's book are longer and more advanced.  She'll have her trophy soon.  

Reading Awards 1 & 2

I signed the kids up for the local library summer reading program.  Lexi received the first two awards today.  She had to read 5 books to get the bookmark and another 5 for the certificate.  I have been logging the books into the website.
