Curious George / Curioso Jorge

Back in October we saw on TV that they were having a Reading Marathon. You were supposed to read to your child a certain amount of hours for 3 weeks and complete a form that said the hours you read to your child. If you completed the hours, you could send the form to KUED and they would send you an invitation to meet Curious George at the KUED Reading Marathon Party. So that's what we did and got the invitation. The reason I did it is because Lili LOVES Curious George. On January 5th we went to the party, which was at the Utah State Fair Park in Salt Lake City. Sidra and her kids did it too so we all went together. Lili was really excited to meet George. When we got there they gave the girls each a sack to put the things that they would collect from the party. There were different kinds of booths and they all had a theme like 'George is curious about dogs' and so at the booth they had real dogs that the kids could pet and they gave the kids a stuffed animal dog to take home. They also had different kinds of shows like the one with a magician. We had to wait in a line to be able to meet George. Luckly we got in line early so we didn't have to wait for a long time. When we got to meet George, Lili ran up to him and gave him a big hug. We took pictures and then we went to see the different booths. The girls loved it and had a lot of fun. They also got a free book of their choice and of course Lili chose a Curious George book. Here is a video of the moment Lili met George and a slide show of the pictures from that day.

En Octubre del 2007 vimos en la tele un aviso que estaban teniendo una Maraton de Lectura. Uno tenia que leer a su hijo cierta cantidad de horas por 3 semanas y completar un papel con las horas que uno leyo a su hijo. Si completabas las horas, podias mandar el papel a KUED (el canal de television) y ellos te mandarian una invitacion para conocer a Curioso Jorge en la fiesta de Maraton de Lectura de KUED. Asi que eso es lo que hicimos y recibimos la invitacion. La razon porque lo hice es porque a Lili LE ENCANTA Curioso Jorge. El 5 de Enero de este año fuimos a la fiesta que se hizo en el Utah State Fair Park en Salt Lake City. Sidra y sus hijas lo hicieron tambien asi que fuimos todas juntas. Lili estaba re entusiasmada de conocer a Jorge. Cuando llegamos ahi les dieron a las chicas una bolsa a cada una para poner las cosas que colectaran de la fiesta. Habian diferentes tipos de stands y todos tenian diferentes temas como por ejemplo "Jorge tiene curiosidad por los perros" entonces en el stand tenian perros de verdad que los chicos podian tocar y acariciar. Tambien en ese stand les regalaban a cada chico un perro de peluche. Tambien tenian diferentes tipos de show como por ejemplo uno era de magia. Tuvimos que esperar en una fila para poder conocer a Jorge. Afortunadamente nos pusimos en la linea temprano asi que no tuvimos que esperar mucho. Cuando llego nuestro turno, Lili corrio hacia Jorge y le dio un gran abrazo. Sacamos fotos y despues nos fuimos a ver los diferentes stands. Las chicas se divirtieron mucho y les encanto. Tambien recibieron un libro gratis que ellas podian elegir y por supuesto Lili eligio uno de Curioso Jorge. Aqui hay un video del momento que Lili conocio a Jorge y unas fotos de ese dia.
