Fairy Tales, Magic Shows, and Concerts

This has been one hot summer.

If we have not been in the pool, we have been visiting our Birmingham Children's theater and our public libraries.

Have I ever bragged on our Birmingham libraries? I think they are some of the best! Even our little Chelsea library has offered some cute programs this summer.
Here are some pictures of us with some friends at the play, The Three Little Bears. The Children's Theater puts on the best plays for not a lot of money at all. We only spent $26 for Laurel, Savannah and me. It even held Landon's attention for a whole hour. When we left, I looked at my friend Dana and said, "I love Birmingham," and I do!

Check out Landon at the girl's feet! He did not know what to think about the big bears!

We also went to a great magic show at the Chelsea Library. The magicians were a husband and wife duo. They were amazing and I could not figure out how they did any of their tricks. And what makes a magic show even better? You and your friends getting picked to be hula girls!
Laurel was very excited! Today we went to the Roger Day concert at the Hoover library! He is a great singer and entertainer. He has made up some great, silly songs for children but at the same time they get the children to think. One of my favorites was Dream Big. I forgot my camera...UGH! But I did get this picture of Laurel and Savannah when we got home. These outfits are one of my favorites that I have made for them. Laurel will be a "cool" first grader this year, so I don't know how much longer she will wear what I sew.

I'm just so appreciative of the people who work so hard, for so little money, to entertain and educate my children. I love the library!
