Reading Programs at the Library

 Once again we participated in the summer reading program at the local library.  They always have amazing shows.  At the start of the summer we saw Elephant and Piggie, the Musical!  Grace and Glen love Elephant and Piggie so that was a hit.

Then we read the summer away.  We did a few more activities but not too many.  At the end of the summer we went to the Sciencetellers show.  They are scientists that are story tellers.  So they tell a story with experiements scattered within the story.  Grace was called up to do an experiement and she had a blast.  This sciencetellers was about two kids being trapped on a pirate ship.  I love how our library brings reading, science, stories, and learning alive for the kids.

Highland

 Grace went to Highland Retreat Camp this past summer.  She went for three days and two nights.  It was her first time at mini camp and she had a great time.

 She was in Maple Cabin and had such a wonderful time.  She loved making pancakes over the fire.

 She liked sleeping in the cabin.  She began the time on the top bunk of the cabin.  When I went to pick her up, she was on the bottom bunk beside the counselor.  But she slept better there.

 The counselors went on a nature hike with them.  They were looking for animals that talked like Narnia.  That was one of the stories that I heard a lot about.  I think that was a memorable time.

She is already looking forward to camp next year.

 Here Grace is at their final program where each cabin did a skit.  Grace is in the green shirt.
