The kids have been working all summer long on the reading program at the library. Brighton has really excelled in her reading ability and Porter can sit for hours if someone is reading to him. So that has basically been our summer. They both knew that if they completed the program there would be a great prize. They finished and when they received an invitation to a library party, they were a little disappointed that their hard work amounted to a piece of paper. They are all about tangible things, but when I explained to them the fun we would have at this party, they were excited. Party day finally came and I was a little nervous that the kids excitement for this thing was far greater than the awesomeness of the party, but McAllen Public Library did not disappoint. There was a ton of free food, games, door prizes, train rides, climbing walls, carnival rides, and amazing bounce houses. And you needed a ticket for everything which you received with your invitation, so there weren't a ton of people there. The kids had the best day ever. It was a great way to close out this first chapter of our cross-country adventure and it will make us think fondly of the time we spent in McAllen, TX.
