Splash into Reading

To kick off the summer reading program, our library held a "splish, splash, water fun" event this week. They said to come prepared to get wet, so that is what we did. I don't think the girls got a drop of water on them, but they loved running around in their swimming suits(and I didn't have to worry about them getting bubbles, chalk, and water on their clothes). Alyssa's favorite game was the one that you picked a rubber ducky out of the water and got a prize. The size of the prize depended on the color of sticker on the bottom(but the girls working it kindly pointed out the best duck to pick for each kid). Ashley's favorite game was drawing with sidewalk chalk on the library wall(which she so kindly tested with crayons once we got home). The other games included were bowling, fishing, sandbox play, a wading pool, beach balls, bubbles, and a drawing table. Here are a couple of pictures from the morning.
I love taking my girls to the library, especially when they put on fun events like this. Alyssa and Ashley had a lot of fun playing and were even more excited about all of the prizes they brought home.
