Coastal Reflections

A little time down under

We went to our first summer library program today.  I honestly hadn't planned on attending any of them with gas prices so high, but one of the branches is a very quick drive down the river  south of us and I like the programs they have planned better than the library branch we normally frequent. 

Today's program was all about the land down under.  We were treated to lots of didgeridoo music, learned about koalas, wallabys, kangaroos, and the duck-billed platypus, and x-ray art.  Ds1 is usually shy when it comes to participating, but today he had loads of fun dancing with the music like a kangaroo, the heat of the day, the water, a dingo,  and the kookaburra.

He also signed up for the summer reading program and checked out loads of books and magazines (back issues of Ranger Rick and the like) while we were there.  This particular library branch is located in a 'retirement' area, but has a fabulous children's department. 

The drive along the river lifted my spirits as well, as it always does.  I came home feeling refreshed and peaceful.
