Summer Reading

Do you have a summer reading program? One where you get tickets to a baseball game for reading a requisite number of books. I never liked baseball as a kid but I loved going to the baseball game. My kids love it too. Despite the fact that the seats are up at the top the kids have a blast singing take me out to the ball game and doing the wave (for them that's the most exciting part of the game). I love that the kids get to earn their way to a baseball game every year.

This year we decided to give our kids some extra motivation to read so we did the city library and the county library's reading program. The county library gave tickets to the Mercury, phoenix's WNBA team. Really they know how to do it. Instead of giving us tickets up in the nosebleeds the tickets were seated in the 12th row! It makes a game more enjoyable when you can actually see the players. Unfortunately during both games I forgot the camera so no pictures of their enjoyment. But great job reading boys!
