We signed up online earlier for Madison's Summer Reading program. This is the one that she's been doing the last three years. The difference this summer is that she's reading much bigger books, each one over a 100 pages. Of course, there are pictures. But also there are a lot more words. Peppered in between will be other books that won't have the substantial length to them, but with this program, she'll be spending quite a bit of time reading this summer. Not a bad thing at all!
To start things off at the library, they had a big event: a circus! It was sort of a circus, actually, although that wasn't the theme of the year. The theme is "superheroes." And the amount of people that showed up sort of made it a circus in a way. But it was fun, regardless. There was a pretty talented acrobat that showed up, one who could do some amazing balancing tricks, and one who could do some juggling as well. Madison was chosen to be a helpful volunteer, which was pretty cool as the place was packed and there were a lot of kids to choose from. Madison did well up there in front of folks, completely fearless as always, stepping bravely into new situations with courage.
It was a great show, and there were lots of other things to do there at the library as well. As mentioned before, we have a great local library. They provide a lot of things for our kids, and on top of the performance today, there was a place for face painting as well. Madison chose to be a tiger. Grrr!
She also had balloon animals made, and did a few other things as well. It was a fun little get-a-way for us, in the midst of all this Summer Xtreme preparation. Yes, we went back to work in that direction as soon as the event was over. But it was nice to step away and do something with the neighbors' families at the local library.
