Sweet Summertime!

It's summertime! I completely love summer. Since I am an instructional assistant in a school library, I get to be off work all these long, glorious, wonderful weeks. I take full advantage of them by spending tons of time with my girl. 

We've been having a great time this summer so far. Our town has opened up a new splash pad at a local park, so we've spent several afternoons there. It's a super-fun, free thing to do with my girlie and it's only a couple of minutes from our house. 

We've also taken full advantage of the free programs at our local public library as part of the Summer Library Program. I may do a post soon about the importance of public libraries, but for now, let me just share some pics from a program presented by the local agriplex center on farming at our public library.

We've gone to movies. Our local Carmike Cinema has a deal going on in the summer where every Thursday at 10 am, they show a children's movie that has already been released but it still fairly new: Despicable Me 1 and 2, The Croods, Turbo, Rio 1 and 2 etc. It's $4 a person and you get a small drink and small popcorn. For any of you who haven't been to the movie theater lately, that's a crazy good price. 

So far, it's been a great summer, and we're only halfway in. On Thursday, we head out for the beach-our first trip all three of us as a family- and I can't wait!
