Summer Reading Fun

The library is a favorite stop for me & the kids. We usually try to go for "Toddler Time", get some books & movies, color a picture, & enjoy our library buddies. Our hometown has an excellent summer reading program. There are lots of special activities & presentations throughout the summer. If the kids complete 10 hours of reading/listening, 10 related activities, & 4 library visits, they earn some awesome prizes! I'm not talking hippo shaped erasers & stale bubble gum . . . these are free train rides at the zoo, admission to the fair & children's museum, meals from local restaurants . . . awesome stuff. One perk is a free ticket to a Saltdogs baseball game. We're not huge baseball fans, so this is usually our one game of the season. It's a great time!
We've shied away from the bounce houses & games in the past thinking they would be expensive, but found out they are just a quarter! So, this year they were able to enjoy a little extra fun.
Lots of friends were at the game as well, some who joined us for a tasty pre-game potluck, too. Here's Andrew enjoying a little game of tag with one of his best buddies.
There were also weiner dog races, a playground, free prizes, & oh yeah . . . a baseball game to watch. ; ) Are you a baseball fan? What's your favorite part?
