Half Price Books

We took a drive to half price books this morning.  Colin had saved and collected $69 for books to donate.  He started with his own $13 and then asked some family for matching donations.  Julia and Caroline each gave $2 as well.  

He wanted to buy and donate dinosaur books for kids that don't have books of their own.  He ended up with 25 books (about half dino, half beginning readers).  Plus the girls each picked a Dora book.  These will go to some lucky kids in southeastern Ohio.

    How great! Twenty-five books! Please tell Colin we are so proud of him and should he want to do this again, we're 'in' to help.
