Millcreek Community Center

It's music camp week and ballet week. We needed to make up for a bunch of ballet lessons that Jovie is missing due to her heavy vacation schedule. We'd never been to the new Millcreek Community Center, so ballet make-up was a good excuse.
It's fantastic!
It's stylish and new and shiny. The library has a cool conveyor belt and sorter in the book return, really friendly librarians, and cool chairs in the kid's section.  The Evergreen Café is frequented mostly by people from the Senior Center. The seniors were all very friendly to us because the kids had pretty good manners. The food at the Café was good and cheap.
Yes, this counts as good manners. They are using their fingers, but they aren't yelling or running around. Not too bad, kids!
Book update: We read the whole Ramona Quimby series. We read the first two books in the Hardy Boys series, but I had to edit out too many references to guns and death threats so we've given up on that for a while. We started the Encyclopedia Brown series and I've figured out every mystery so far. Ikey finished Set 1 and Set 2 and half of Set 3 in the Reading for All Learners series. He read the word "CLASSIC" off a bowling alley sign while I was driving down the road the other day. He is not afraid to try to sound out any word. Jovie read the word "Fish" off a truck.
