For the last several summers the girls have joined a reading club at a nearby baptist church.  They met once a week for reading, crafts, snacks, and a short video.  Unfortunately, we missed lots of the meetings due to all of our traveling and company this summer, but we still managed to make it over . . . → Read More: Summer Reading Club
