Super Hero Training Camp

Another fun library activity- Super hero training camp!   It was raining this afternoon, so perfect timing.   I think this whole idea would be fun for a birthday party as well.

 

Getting himself in superhero mode! 

The kids arrived and got a list of tasks to do:

First of all, Levi decorated his mask.  It was made of fun foam and they used stickers and glitter glue.

Then was the ROCK OF STRENGTH!   He lifted that huge rock right above his head!

In another feat of strength, he lifted 2 large weights up and down

He did a maze made from tape on the floor, and then crawled through the tunnel

Next he saved a "baby" by crossing a burning lava pit:  (teen volunteers helped with this whole event, here they are making sure no one falls into lava)

My little superman:

And the most fun of all, was smashing through a brick wall!

They had to rebuild it for every kid, sometimes more than once each, they loved it!


And Levi will get a certificate for completing all of his tasks.   What an exciting way to spend the afternoon!


And of course, Levi needed a new shirt for the occasion.  I had these sleeves cut out of yellow sitting in my sewing room, so I used them with the blue to make this slim fit lap-t style shirt, it fit over Levis big ol' head perfectly!

Library Love!

We go to the library at least once a week, usually more often than that.  This summer, we've been going 3-4 times a week because of all of the wonderful kids programs they offer! 

Even with going so frequently, we still come home with a big bag of books every time.   Our living room often looks like this:

We get lots of books just for fun, or because they are on the display racks and look interesting.  Or for our homeschool studies.

And then there are the summer reading programs - the y are always amazed at how many books we read!

In the summer, they also have afternoon programs, we have been to a couple magic shows, a music show, and even a puppet show!
