Summer Library Programs

I have another set of pictures that i'm planning to download from a backup CD so stay tuned, their older than these ones here.


I'm realizing now that I owe Abdu a post all to himself insha'a Allah--maybe I'll do a photo shoot :) For these library events, he was tide down to his stroller for the snow day event and running around when the kids were with the snakes--so i didn't get any shots of him :|


Snow Day--Exploring artificial snow. The girls had a blast since they've never actually seen snow (I can't believe they're half Canadian!). They got to see the artificial snow under a microscope and then add water to it and watch it become snow. They added salt to witness how it melts and took some home to do all over again. It was fun!


For Goodness Snakes--Reptiles at the library. We really had a blast here. Both the snow day and the Snakes show were on the same day at two different libraries 3 hours apart. I was crazy to do both on the same day (and go home, feed the kids lunch and get Abdu to nap in between), but it was well worth it!

I'm so proud of Asmaa. She is slowly overcoming her bug and animal fear walhamdulillah. She actually put a snake around her neck, but wouldn't keep it on long enough for me to get a shot. Next time insha'a Allah :)



I would like to say "like mother, like daughter", but Nusayba actually put three different snakes around her neck before I put one around mine!




We actually have a couple of videos of this wonderful experience, but I haven't uploaded them yet. I'll put them up with the next post insha'a Allah.
