African Drummers and Dancers

We decided this morning to head to our local public library in Spring Hill and check out some books etc.  I remembered from past times that they usually have Story Time at 10:00.  When we arrived at the Library I noticed there were lots of cars and lots of people just getting there.  When we went inside we went to the "Story Time" room and it was packed full of parents, grandparents, kids etc...  I saw numerous people from our church family and some close friends also.  When we sat down I noticed they had some drums up in front of the room so I knew it was going to be fun!  Grant was pumped because he LOVES any kind of musical instruments.  They were African Drummers and Dancers.  They were awesome and Grant and Madison LOVED it.  The name of the group is "Global Education Center" their website is www.globaleducationcenter.net

 They had three drummers there and most had been playing since very young!

 This guy with Grant had been playing the African Drums since he was 6!
They were all so friendly and nice and the kids really liked it!

 This is a picture with Tyra the Dance Instructor. 
She was very entertaining and awesome! 
She let the children participate and dance with her!




After we watched them perform and listened to the drummers.  
We went into the children area and let the kids look and check 
out books/movies.  I had to go and find me a good book too!


 Madison with a book she was "thinking" about getting.
She wasn't sure which ones she wanted and which ones we 
didn't already have at home!  Being a teacher I have tons of books!

 Grant was reading the title to Madison 
to see if she wanted this book.


The area has lots of things besides books 
for the children to look at and play with!
I took a few pics and then sat on the couch  
and let the children put on a puppet show for us.  
They had a great time and got some 
books and movies for home.

 Before we left the library Grant and Madison had to 
get their picture made again!  There was a little boy there 
and he wanted his picture made with them.  
Madison said she had to be the girl in the middle!
