We kept it pretty relaxed today. We drove up to Manitou Springs looking for a birthday present. It was packed! We ended up parking up the hill by the school and walking into town. We did find a couple more Little/Free Libraries along the way. Will dropped off a book he had finished, but didn’t have much luck finding a new one this time.
We just kind of browsed and meandered through town. We tried a fresh squeezed blackberry lemonade. It was pretty good, although tart. The boys loved it and it was a nice treat on a warm day.
Remember how I had trouble finding a parking spot? It turns out they were having the Pikes Peak Marathon. What?! I can’t even imagine running from the town to the top of Pikes Peak and back down. We got to cheer on a few people crossing the finish line.
After town, we headed to Walmart to pick up some grocery and clothing items. It was a pretty relaxing day.
Sounds like a good day… Do you use the library in different towns? How does that work??? 🙂
We aren’t using the libraries themselves, although once they are all open I would love to see every town’s library! Right now we are using the Little Libraries/Free Libraries we find along the way. They’re pretty neat! If you have a book you are done with, you can drop it in the box for someone else to read or you can browse for a book for yourself. We love them! https://littlefreelibrary.org/ourmap/
