it's magic, michael

the end of july marked the end of the summer reading program at the redford library. hayden had a great time participating in all of the activities and ended up reading over 13 hours in the month of july! he was able to go in and get 3 different prizes!
on monday, the library had a party for all of the kids that met a goal. you could go in at 2 or 7. i quickly decided taking talan, especially during nap time, would be a horrible decision, so hayden and i headed out for the 7 o'clock party.
the library had brought in a magician, baffling bill, to perform a show for the kids. hayden was sitting front row, center and LOVED it. it was a GREAT show. i don't know that i've ever seen a kids magician like that that was so good. i mean, he was no gob, but he was good!!
hayden, of course, was upset that he wasn't picked to be one of the assistants throughout the show, but he was the only kid that was able to pet the dove.
after the show all of the kids were able to go out and pick a book to take home, pick up their reading certificate and pet the magician's bunny.
it was a great time and we are grateful for all that the library did throughout july. now that reading month is over it's time to turn the tv back on! (that was a joke.....the tv has been on all along.)
