Library Outing

I don't read much, so I've only been to a library once or twice that I can ever remember. My friends out here enjoy taking their kids to the local libraries, so I thought I'd jump on the band-wagon. We went to the Waukegan Public Library yesterday.

As it turns out, the trip was worth my time. We had so much fun!

The library has a large selection of children's books, but even better for my little children was the Early Learning Center in the basement, which has only been open for 2 months. It has all sorts of activities for the kids to play and learn, including a sound wave demonstration, a giant calculator for learning math, computers for the kids to play learning games, and much more.

Here are our fun pictures from the trip. We went with our friends, the Whitings and the Simonsons.

Nana reading to Dayton

I love this picture of Dayton actively listening to the story

Nana and Dayton doing a puppet show
He loved the dragon on top of the stage.

The kids doing a puppet show together Dayton, Susie, and Paisley
(so hard to get a picture of 3 kids by the way;
as you can see, NONE of them are looking)

April reading to Susie
(possibly a book in Spanish because that's what Susie kept grabbing)

Chrisanna "playing" with a motion-sensing game
This woman is the Coupon/Money-Saving Queen. She has
taught me her ways, and saved me hundreds of dollars already.
Thank you, thank you!

Daphne playing in a baby zone
She LOVED this toy for about 20 minutes!

Thanks friends for dragging me out to the library. I think we can squeeze this fun adventure in more often from now on. Dayton had a blast and has been talking about it nonstop since we went.
