Library Party

Today was the end of summer library reading party. We got there and Aidan did his usual routine of walking right over to the busy box and playing with that and then some puzzles. He fought me a bit when I tried to get him to walk around the rest of the library with me but I wanted him to see all the activities they had set up for the party. After a few more puzzles we walked over to watch Joe-Joe the clown make some balloon animals and then we needed to get up and move so Aidan gave the ring toss a try. It was quite cute. He wanted to place them all on the same peg until he got to the last ring and put it on a different peg. His prize was a coupon for a free apple dipper at McDonalds. Then we made a windsock which is now hanging in our kitchen. Around that time the clown was about to start his magic show so we went and found a carpet square to sit on and Aidan's friend Kiera from storytime and her mom sat next to us. We enjoyed a few magic tricks and then it was time to pick out a couple of books as our prize for reading all summer. We got some great ones: Click, Clack, Moo; Where the Wild Things Are; a discovery book about Dogs; and Silly Sally. As we finished picking out a few books Aidan's name was called for the raffle. He won an echo microphone. Fun. We picked up our snack (juice box and bag of animal crackers) and headed home. It was a great time! Check out the pictures below. We can't wait for story time on Monday!
