E.B. White's Birthday Celebration!

On Wednesday, July 11th there was a special celebration of E.B. White's birthday with a Charlotte's Web party. The children from Seton
Catholic School summer camp joined up with Residents of Juniper Village in the courtyard for a fun filled time. The meaning of friendship was discussed followed by a brief synopses of the book. Then there was cake! The children and residents celebrated with a cake and pink lemonade and played their own version of "freeze tag" entitled spiders and pigs. Helen Peterson was a spider trying to hug her piglets! Delicious lettuce was sampled from the garden at Juniper Village. The fun continued with a creative game where residents shared bits of their lives with the children. Giggles were heard throughout the crowd when the children tried to guess how long the Crabtree's have been married. One girl guessed 90! June said: "it only feels that way sometimes."
