Summer Reading

The girls and I participated in a summer reading program at the library. Now my only participation was reading to Emme and Ally, I had to read 20 picture books to them. Kylie read 11 chapter books- only required to read nine, she loves to read. Here they are with there completed reading logs. Their rewards were first a certificate, then they all were able to pick a free book from this cart full of great books, and lastly a free kids meal from Chick-fil-a! Yummy! Here are the girls on the way home from the library reading their books. Emme picked Somewhere in the Ocean, Ally picked Duck on a Bike, and Kylie picked Midnight on the Moon- from the Magic Tree House series.
Here they are with their certificates and free Chick-fil-a coupons!
A weird occurrence- as we were leaving the library- thank goodness we were in the car, but three, what looked like wild turkeys to me, came over to our car.
This one, however, would not leave, he just kept staring at me with his one eye and was really close to the car(I did not zoom in on him). I finally started to back up and he kept on following us. Weird?! But funny!! I was scared he might try to peck at the tire or the side of the car. But he did not- how would I explain that one to my husband- " I promise the scratches came from a turkey!" Bizarre!!

Good job to the girls!! My boys were reading maniacs (for library program) up until the day we left for vacation. Now that we're back I can't get them to read...

Ok, so that is so weird about the turkeys. Very weird indeed.
