Every summer our local library puts on a summer program for the kids to encourage reading. When you return four books, you can get a prize! They also try to have some type of activity for the kids to do on Wednesdays. This last through the month of June. Anyway.....Yesterday the had a program called Animal Tales. It was very good! They brought their Creepy Critter program with them. He showed the kids hissing cockroaches, a scorpion, a rat, a tarantula, a rat snake, and a huge python. He shared a lot of information with the kids as well. With each critter he showed, he asked for volunteers. Of course, Kaitlyn raised her hand. She was picked first. He had her and another little boy close their eyes. He asked what is the insect that the most common? The kids answered cockroaches, ladybugs, gnats. He asked what is the bug most people don't like the most? Then in Kaitlyn's hand he placed a huge hissing cockroach! She did not like that at all!!!! It was so funny. She now says she will never volunteer again! She will!
LOL! And she has it! She did not hold it very long!
Imagine this great big thing in Kait's little hand! YUCK!
Aden tried to volunteer to help hold the Python but he was not picked. He was disappointed. He has a small obsession with snakes. I'm a terribly mean mother and will not allow a snake in my house! He would love to have one though.
I'm so glad that our library has these things for the kids in the summer. It is a great program. We can't wait to go next week!
