When we first got there there was a little time to play on the playground.
It was a crazy sight!! There were probably 50 kindergartners and some siblings all running around on the playground...talk about chaos!!After some play time it was time to eat.
I took Marc picture...I figured it is his school picnic so I would take a picture of him eating....well, Samantha was feeling left out. She shrieked and smiled her scrunched-up nose smile. So, of course I had to take her picture too.
After staying at his picnic for just a little while, we headed down to Grand Rapids to the Schuler's Bookstore on 28th Street. One of our favorite authors, Laura Numeroff, was there for a book signing. She write the "If You Give A..." book series and the "What ??/?? Does Best" series. She had 2 new books that just came out. She read her 2 new books and and "If You Give A Mouse A Cookie", but she changed the words. All the kids thought it was hilarious!! After she read the books, she signed books.
By the time we got home and I got Marc in bed, he was in bed at 9:00pm and I was in bed at 10:00pm. Ugh!As we were driving to the bookstore, Marc said to me, "Mom, I think I will tell her that I like her books". I thought that was soooo sweet! I am glad that we are raising children to like and appreciate the value of books! :)
