Downtown on a Saturday Afternoon

This past Saturday we took a leisurely stroll downtown and visited a few educational places. Our first stop was to the Laurel Jones County Library so McKenzie could pick up the next book in the "Series of Unfortunate Events" series by Lemony Snicket. I'm so glad she's found a series she likes. Bo and I read a book with Kennedy then she played with the blocks and built a house. Next we walked through Leontyne Price Park (mainly just neat because it's named after Leontyne Price). After that we went to the Lauren Rogers Museum of Art. We each had a favorite part of the museum. My favorite was the display of paintings that were chosen by the workers of the museum. A small card was displayed by each telling why they chose that particular painting to be displayed. Bo's favorite was the old silver (funny, I know). McKenzie's favorite was probably the gift shop, and Kennedy's favorite was the suit of armor. At first she was a little scared of it, but after we explained what it was she kept wanting to go back to it. After the museum, we shopped a little at The Emporium at the Reserve where McKenzie found a North Face jacket she had been wanting for only $30, so Christmas came a little early for her. Then we went to our favorite downtown Laurel spot - our apartment - had a nap and watched some movies. It was such a leisurely day, and we had a really good time. Below are some pics, including a sign I found behind the Methodist church downtown.
