Read and Romp

Two weeks ago we went down to the Colorado Read and Romp to help raise money to buy books for children who don't have any. It is a great cause and a wonderful way to spend the day. They had characters for the kids to visit with, a magic show,a catered lunch and tons of booths with activities for the kids and the activities all corresponded with the theme of the book. We will definitely go again.

                           The Berenstain Bears go to the Doctor: They put a cast on your finger.
                           My Daddy is a Pretzel: They had children's yoga.
                           The Magic Hat: You were given a balloon animal.
                            Harold and the Purple Crayon: The had all kinds of coloring sheets.
                           Harry and the Dinosaurs at the Museum: They had all kinds of  fossils and bones.
                           Eating the Alphabet: The kids ate their way through a hamburger. It was similar to
                           The very hungry Caterpillar.
                           The Curious Garden: They had all kinds of plants for the kids to touch and look at.
                           Frog and Toad: They had a lily pad ring toss.
                           Cars and Trucks and Things that go: They had a race track with cars.
                           Library Lion: The kids got to make a bookmark.
                           Reading Makes you feel good: This was story time and they had a dog to pet.
                           Fancy Nancy: They had tons of dress up stuff.
                           Hop on Pop: The kids got to run and jump on bubble wrap. This was a favorite!

What great fun Joseph had - and terrific examples of book readers in his family - Hope he turns out to be as big a bookworm as the rest of us!
