Library time

One of the best things to do with kids that is totally free (unless of course you are like me and are always late bringing back the books) is library time.

We are pretty lucky in the fact that we have around 7 libraries that is within 10 minutes from our house so we can usually find a library time that works with our schedule on any given day. However, our favorite is the one within walking distance (I won't be walking there ever but it is nice to have the choice). They have a 60 minute puppet and sing a long time with a 15 minute play time right afterwards so the moms and dads can all talk while the kids are busy. The cool thing about this sing a long time is that it is in the community room not in the book area. So if we want to spend another hour there reading books we 'get' to ride the elevator to the kid's area where they have computers, a tunnel with toys on the walls, and of course millions of books. Oh, and for us who have to go to the bathroom often, they have a family restroom in the kid's area that is big enough for both girls and the big stroller.
