Summer fun

Our public library sponsors fun activities to promote the summer reading program and spending time at the library. We would go to the library anyway, but this makes it more exciting for the kids. They never know what's going to show up there!

Jack was pretty excited about the petting zoo we found on the front lawn.


They even provided food for the animals so you could feed them. Jack actually wanted to feed them. Shocking, I know.


Most of the pictures are of me feeding the animals. I do not get excited about petting zoos or animals licking my hand.

Since I had my hands full (literally), I asked Ellen to keep Rose from running into the street. She did a pretty good job of keeping her near. Then Rose realized that she actually recognized those animals and loudly yelled "Baaaaa" at me, until Jack, who was taking pictures, got my attention with, "She's trying to talk to you." She was even more excited that I was listening and responding to her yelling "Baaaaaa" over and over and over again. It's one of the words she can actually say, in addition to her awesome dog imitations.
