Bonus Direct to DVD Content, Saturday 5/11

When I was thinking about what I was gonna title this post, I was like “Oh, like I’ll just do ‘Bonus Content, Saturday’, ” then I was like, “WAIT! ‘Direct to DVD’!” So, it’s like those ads before you watched DVD’s as a kid where it would be like Direct to DVD Disney sequel of like Cinderella or something. Ugh, the good old days with DVD’s, which it’s not like you can’t still buy or use DVDs like we still watch DVDs sometimes and have a player, but it’s not the same. And actually fun fact, we had and used a VHS player still in one of the bedrooms when I was a really little kid and then it finally kicked the bucket once I was around four or five years old, but I loved that thing!

Saturday, 5/11:

OK, after you read that tangent this is what I actually did today. Today was History Exploration Day (HED). HED is a family and kids focused event that happens once every month or so. It is a Friday and Saturday, so today I helped with storytime. Instead of one of the staff reading today, we had Estafani one of Lindsay’s friends come in. Estafani is a Spanish Speaker who reads different stories to kids groups in Spanish. This was her last event in St. Louis before she essentially goes on tour around Colorado, Utah, and Arizona. She read three books all on Summer themes. After that, I took a lunch break and chatted with Julie and Maggie and then worked the clubhouse front desk from 12:00 to 12:30. After that, I was just floating around. I was gonna do laps all around, but then I just spent the time talking with Elena in the Time Travel Room and then helping her, Maggie, and Julie clean up. After that, we took a group photo with Maggie and we all said bye. I was officially off at 2:00, but didn’t leave until about 2:30. I walked over to the pagoda area again and just sun bathed while listening to music. At one point, I moved to the bench to be under shade and write this post and then there’s just this crowd of people behind me trying to take pictures of two geese! I was like so surprised and I only turned because I had that feeling of “there’s people behind me / people watching me,” feeling. So, I was actually just being a narcissist because they were just watching geese. There was also a guy who walked over with the cutest pitbull puppy!
