There is a library we go to regularly in Chula Vista, California. We have a membership and borrow many pounds of books each time we go. This summer the kids participated in the summer reading program. For reading 10 books, each of the boys got a free ticket to the San Diego Zoo and free tickets to other attractions around town. They all completed their task- with Elijah finishing with 33 books, Caleb 13 and Jacob 11. We are going to the Zoo sometime soon! YEEHAW!
Last Saturday they had a rally thing with pizza, prizes and the reptile guy. They had 1100 kids participate in the sumer reading program- in that particular branch of the Library! So we sat for about an hour while they drew name after name after name. Most of the kids weren't there. 98% of the names were Hispanic! Caleb won a puzzle, Elijah won a T-shirt and Jacob did not win :(. But everyone went home with something-- a little beach ball, a spider ring- something that may last till we get home!
