Party Pictures!

Buhl Volunteer Fire Department & St. Louis County Sheriff!

Party! Party! Party!

The end for Judy's Baggy Stories for Summer 2006 has come and gone with a PARTY! What a great party we had. We had guests! The Buhl Volunteer Fire Department came with their BIG red Fire Truck. Everyone had a chance to use the firehose and made a nice wet spot on the dry grass. A Sheriff Deputy came and we got to go through the police car and take a good look at the front seat and all of the gadgets! We then sat outside in the Library Yard and had a Picnic! And finally we played games with balloons and when we won (as we all did) we got to go in the library and choose a prize from the Treasure Box! What fun we had!!! The staff at the Library hopes to see all of our kids again later this year when we again enjoy Judy's Baggy Stories!
