The Animals go Marching...

Every Tuesday, we have been joining our neighbors at story time at the West Cobb library on a somewhat regular basis for the past several months... the girls look forward to it every week! Ms. April, the children's librarian does a phenomenal job picking out books that coincide with the theme that week, leading all the kids in silly dances, choosing an interesting short movie and and putting together a quick craft for all the kids. But, with the recent cuts in library budgets, our story time is taking the summer off and will begin again after school starts in September. :(
On this last Tuesday, each child was supposed to bring their favorite stuffed animal for an animal parade around the library. It felt very naughty walking around the library with loud music and even louder musical instruments, but the kids had a blast!

Ava shook her maracas and Abby played the tambourine...

We did get some very strange looks from the people in the library... but most of them were nice enough to smile and wave at all the kids marching by.

Apparently they weren't given any kind of warning about a very loud and long parade that day- I almost felt bad for the people trying to read or study...almost...

After the parade was over, the girls made their own animal parade!


We love story time and can't wait for it to begin again in September!
