Fun Times at the Library!

Our little La Verne library had a Chinese New Year Celebration Party on Feb 5th in the afternoon. We went thinking the kids would color a picture and they would pass out fortune cookies or something... But it was awesome! They had a lady face painting with an airbrush, complete with glitter and stencils, she also did crazy balloon shapes, there was cake and drinks, we played a jeopardy style game with Chinese themed categories-our team came in third (at least we weren't last place, which was fourth), there was a treasure hunt throughout the library to find gold coins, there were treat bags filled with toys, chop sticks, fans and fortune cookies, and a craft to make a dragon out of foam board. The lady putting the event on designed the dragon craft and cut all the shapes out of foam board. You probably can't tell from the pictures, but there are four pieces that make up each of the dragons, pretty detailed. We were there for 2 and a half hours! James came with us, so that was the most we had seen of him all week! Best of all, it was all free!
