Lovin the library

I love my local library.  They have some really great family programs.  They are quite often things we do as a whole family.  But as of late, I've had to work on Sundays (when the programs are offered) and Jim has been braving it alone. 

Once a month they do a 'drive in'.   They play a recent movie on the big screen in the large meeting room and they provide pop corn.  It's so nice because the whole family usually wants to go and since it's free, you don't feel too bad if the kids are a little noisy (or if you fall sleep part of the way through.)  We go most months. 

Reciently we discoverd that they do a monthly craft as well.  The first one Jim took the kids to, they made messenger bags out of a mailing envenope and duct tape!  This month they made a mini marshmallow shooter.
Very cool!

Even cooler were the goggles they made.  They used a clear 2 liter pop bottle, electrical tape and elastic!  Pure genius!

Wish I would have come up with this idea!

  1. Did Jim make his own marshmallow shooter with some modifications? Your library is cool!
