I'm glad I just saw the post about Wildlife Safari, because it reminded me to post about a couple of wonderful programs we had this summer at Oak Park. Bob and Audrey Allison, aka The Storytellers (http://www.thestorytellers.org/), were here to present a program on being an everyday hero. The program included music and stories, humor and laughter. Bob and Audrey played off each other and completely engaged the kids throughout. Each child was able to play one (or more!) of the unusual instruments they brought and a wonderful time was had by all. Kids and parents alike enjoyed themselves. We were also fortunate enough to win a grant that allowed us to have an absolutely fascinating two-hour program with Alexandria's Nature Bus from Howell's Nature Center (http://www.spiritofalexandria.org/index.php/alexandria-s-nature-bus). The naturalists brought five birds of prey and presented a fabulous and fun program on them as well as had the kids explore the nature bus itself.
