I took two grandsons to the Florence Library to kick off the big read.
The boys enjoyed fence painting (Tom Sawyer Fence painting) using yellow, green, red & blue paints. A couple was playing and singing music.

There was a wooden statue with the face hollowed out, where the kids could put their faces and pretend to be Tom Sawyer.

The boys and the elephant display
We walked across the street to Wilson Park and then to Kennedy Douglas Art Center, where the boys could explore the outdoor art displays. We saw a dog, a dinosaur, an elephant, and a spider. |
We stopped at Pope's Tavern and walked around the grounds, taking a few pictures.
We continued walking to UNA. We went to see the lions, UNA, and LEO.
We visited Romeo & Juliet Statues, the building that looks like a castle, the UNA bell tower, the area where UNA soldiers are honored, and many other sites.

I took the boys to Wendy's for Frosty and chicken fingers.
The grandkids learned a lot of history and had fun doing it.
