ABC Library Fun

In my efforts to find fun activities to do with the kids here in Albuquerque, while Ben is working,  a friend from church told us about the local libraries activities!  Well, THANK YOU Albuquerque Bernillilo County Library system for the AWESOME fun!
 Each Tuesday they do an activity for kids during the summer months.  We missed out on some good ones before we moved, BUT, the last three Tuesday's have been great!  The first one was a group of people from some organization that studies the sun.  They had 4 HUGE telescopes that we got to look through to see the sun.  We could see the sun spots and sun storms....it was pretty neat!

 The next Tuesday, they had a drum festival!  There was a man there with about 80 different drums and percussion instruments he let the kids play on and taught them some rhythms.  We had a blast!!

Yesterday, they had a world famous and prize winning storyteller come.  She was from Australia and was AWESOME!  She acted out 4 different stories as she told them and had the kids attention the entire time!  I didn't get any picts of her, but we are really loving Library day!!  They also have great prizes for the kids if they come with a paper signed that they read so many books (or had them read to) during the week!  The girls have gotten a book bag, stuffed animal, and a big squishy ball as prizes.  Thanks again ABC Library system!  We are glad to have taken advantage of you!  Tomorrow we are going to go again because they are doing balloon animals  :)  SO FUN!
