Its called the 'Summer Reading challenge/Voyage' and young children are able to come and explain their books to you, whilst I asked them some basic questions. I then gave them stickers to put onto their poster. They also get to move their picture along the wall and this adds up to how many books they have read. It was really very sweet and I feel much more confident now. I really do need to stop worrying! :)
Yesterday I went with 4 of my friends to 'Adventure Island' in Southend which is about 40 minutes away from where I live. Dawn very kindly offered to drive us in her 'Hello Kitty' car ;)
We decided to go in the evening as we are students and the tickets are half price from six o'clock.
It was so much fun and such a laugh. I'm not the biggest fan of roller coasters. I like the ones that don't go upside down but other than that I'm a bit of a scardey cat. I like Adventure Island because most of the rides apart from 4 are non-upside down rides so it was all good! :)
My favourite ride was the water ride but we decided not to go on it this time because judging by how very wet the people got, and the fact that it was nearly closing time were weren't really feeling it (but maybe next time). We went on the 3 dragon roller coasters, the haunted house, the mine train, the whip, the spinney Pharaohs ride, Sky drop and Ramba Zamba! It was so much fun and really made my day :) Sophie, Dawn and Ambra were so brave they all went on 'Rage' which has soooo many loops its unreal, but me and Madison decided to leave that one out and be bag holders :)
After we went and got chips and sat on the beach taking lots of pictures and then we got some vanilla Ice cream (Yes, a healthy diet= But we were at the beach so it just had to be done!)
At Amanda's (over at Amanda Atkins in a Canary Forest) recommendation I decided to watch 'Big Fish' by Tim Burton and the final verdict was... AMAZING! I really enjoyed it. I loved the scenery and the characters. The costumes were lovely and even though the ending was sad it made the story! Thanks for the advice Amanda! :)
I really hope everyone is having a lovely summer time! Its quite hot here today which is nice :)

Those pictures are awesome! Adventure Island looks like so much fun! Your job at the library also sounds so nice - little kids are just so cute to work with, and they say the funniest things. (and I also get nervous before almost everything, but then it always ends up wonderful of course...haha). I'm so glad you watched Big Fish! It's such an amazing film.

It's good you feel more confident with the library job, it's just not knowing what to expect, can be a bit scary sometimes.
