I Heart Our Library

This morning we checked out the Summer Reading Club opening party at the main library!  WAY FUN!  Harry had such a great time.  We were going to go to the arts festival after a short visit to the party, but he was having so much fun we just bagged the arts festival.

First there was storytime with stories about monkeys.  Loved it! 

There was a DJ playing Reggae style music in the main lobby of the library and Harry was totally dancing to it.  I so wish I had a video camera, but I just had the big camera, so this is the best I got.  He would wave his arms, bounce, and even turn around!  He did it for quite a while, which means he was pretty entertained!  Everyone would stop and smile – they just thought it was so cute.  Agreed.  Wish I would have snapped a pic of the DJ – he had dreads that were down to his knees!  There was also someone playing with those juggling sticks which is always fun to watch.

Then we headed to the outside activities.

Harry loved the fountain!  This boy absolutely loves water if he doesn’t have to be emerged in it!  One guy that was there offered him a penny to throw in and he was being so shy and wouldn’t throw it in!  Usually that is something he would totally dig.

“Come on Harry!”  I think I say this a lot.

He went bowling a few times, AND you got a sticker after each turn.  Such a good boy, he always wanted to help set up the pins afterward. 

Okay, this is funny.  It’s also connected to an event at COSI, but I couldn’t find the pictures right off.  Do you see Clifford the Dog about to enter the library?  Ya, that’s how far away he was and this was Harry’s reaction:

SO SCARED!!!!  Curious George was there too, and he didn’t want one bit of it!  He is totally terrified of large moving stuffed animals.  Kinda don’t blame him.  You can imagine what it was like when the animals got any closer!  It’s so sad, but also really funny.  You will die of laughter when you see how scared he was of the chicken at COSI.  (Post to come soon)

We had a little lunch in the shade (with an extra treat of a free blueberry bagel from Panera – yes, they were giving away food in library.  Awesome.)  Oh we also got a FREE brand new book when we walked in.  Not everyone got one, and I don’t know why we did, but I suspect because Harry is so darn cute.

There was also sidewalk chalk!

That’s all!
