KB's Activities and Stories from Summer 2009

Summer 2009 was a fantastic summer. We visited Memorial Park where we played on the playground and walked around the lake looking for turtles. Also at the park we went up to Bear Hollow where we saw various wild animals. Katie Beth wants to be a “zoo farmer” when she is older.

We also went to two Braves games. The first one was a rain out, but the second was incredible. Katie Beth loved singing "Take me out to the Ballgame" during the 7th inning stretch.

Library programs
Mrs. Donna: a local folklore storyteller where KB was able to pick a prop and help tell a story.

Mr. Keith’s Magic Show: A magician and ventriloquist. Mr. Keith told us that his grandson let him borrow a tube he decorated to show the audience something as long as he didn’t show off the little boys’ treasures inside the tube. Mr. Keith said, “Should we open it anyway?” The crowd yelled out a resounding “yes!” Katie Beth turned around and looked at me with huge eyes and said, “He should not open that tube; his kid doesn’t want him to. My Doc would never do that to me.”
I tried to make the situation better by saying, “Oh Kitkat, I’m sure that it is not really his grandson’s tube.”
KB’s eyes were even bigger than before as she exclaimed, “He lied! We are not suppose to tell lies.”
