Twice a day every Wednesday in August, the children's department hosts themed parties. Families are welcome to sign up for as many as they'd like. Seth took the girls to the Pete the Cat party while I was at girls' camp. The week after, we got gussied up and went to the superhero party.
It started with a story:
Kim the librarian (dressed as Super Smartypants) reading while Analee (dressed as Snow Girl) and Gwendolen (dressed as Super Princess) listen.
Andrea (dressed as Lioness) keeps Winnie occupied during the story.
... then we posed for pictures:
Miriam (dressed as Batman) and Analee soaring over buildings.
Rebekah (who chose not to dress up) with Analee and Gwendolen.
... and made masks:
Miriam sporting two masks.
Analee's new snow mask.
... and took it all in.
An overexposed shot of Winnie and Seth (dressed as the Dread Pirate Roberts/Batman/?).
We missed the third party because we were camping (post to come), but we got to go to the Harry Potter party the fourth week. This time, we all dressed up.
Analee as Hermione.
Seth as Crabbe/Goyle.
Rebekah as Harry.
Miriam as Luna (with her spectrespecs and party dress).
Andrea as Tonks (with the nastiest pink hair glue ever).
Winnie as the cutest house elf you've ever seen.
We played games, made wands and were sorted into houses. Then we got to pose with the greatest guy to love/hate:
And so we give thanks to the greatest children's department librarians ever for hosting the greatest parties on the planet.
