It took me a while to upload these photos from the fantastic show that happened on Halloween on the cape. It was amazing – and the costumes were such fun to see! Thank you to the Snow Library for inviting me out and I’m not sure who had more fun – audience or me!

I am most thankful for having an occupation where I receive emails like this:

“Hi Ryan,

I’m a nanny to two little ones and awhile back we finally saw you at the Corn Festival in Norwell. I wanted to say that your performance was amazing! These kids have a hard time making it through a regular story time or class, but when they saw you, they had the best time. I have never seen them so into a performance before! They were laughing and dancing along. I loved seeing them enjoying themselves so much and am excited that I have the opportunity to take the younger one to another of your performances in December. I just wanted to let you know that you have a great show and that the kids absolutely loved you.”

Thanks!
Stephanie

Thank you, Stephanie, for taking the time to write – it was extremely appreciated!

It must be so strange to children to experience a new baby coming into the household. I wonder how they process it in their innocent minds when they see the baby move inside the mother’s “belly”. I know we tried to answer all of Alexandra’s questions as honestly but as delicately as possible. It’s not always easy…

I swear just yesterday I was tucking this little girl into her crib – and this boy could fit into the crook of my arm. When did they get so big?

A new week begins and I gear up for a fun week of shows including a visit to Quincy, to the Thomas Crane Library, where I can tell some stories once again to a great crowd. I enjoy visiting places multiple times through the years – or even annually – so that I can see some of the same people and catch up with the friends I’ve made over the years.

Also, if you would like a show for the winter, or even the new year, please give me a call at (508) 641-5336 anytime as I am booking now!

Here is the storytelling schedule for this week:

• Monday: Oxford Public Library @10:30am
• Tuesday: Jack N’ Jill Preschool @6:30pm

I am hosting a 4-week Building Stories event at the Plymouth Library starting this Saturday at 1:00. You can call the library to register or register right on the website! If you have an aspiring author in grades 1-5 who would like to join in and have a fantastic time doing some creative writing and games make sure you contact the library today!

I am heading out to the Cranberry Harvest Festival this weekend – one of my favorite annual events that I have had the privilege to attend!  This fantastic festival boasts all sorts family friendly activities such as face painting, duck boats, jugglers – and a trip to the bog will be both entertaining and educational!  Seeing the hard working people collect the cranberries and transport them into trucks is fascinating – and every child tries to climb the gigantic mound of loose sand to see who can be king of the hill!

I will be at the event all day doing shows at 11:00, 1:00 and 3:00 – so please come by and say hello!  Stick around to laugh along with me as I tell my tales! Please click on the image above for more information!  Looking forward to seeing you all there!
