Cute Kid Pix April 2024

More photos that didn't make their own post...

My kids went to the local playground for some screen-free fun. At least I thought they were having fun...

Is anyone having fun in this picture?

My youngest is in the fourth grade orchestra. The school had a field trip to the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall for an educational concert. I was chosen as a chaperone. I am glad to report that the children were well-behaved and the concert was fun. Each section (percussion, brass, woodwinds, and strings) came out and performed a short piece by themselves. Then the whole orchestra played a longer piece, Philharmonia Fantastique, that was accompanied by an animated film where a sprite visits the various instrument of the orchestra. The whole thing was very entertaining.

More playground stuff, this time at the Blandair Ninja Warrior course and the Lake Kittamaqundi playground.

Race #1

Ready for Race #2

What a close finish!

We bought a new (used) bike for our youngest and tried it out on a flat, easy trail not too far from home. The trail is an old rail line that was converted. The view down into one of the driveways let us see an amazing sign.

How to deal with the long driveway

We stopped at Shipley Do-Nuts on the way home.

Yum!

Our daughter finished her robotics club season with a banquet, including a thematically-decorated cake.

We had all of our events cancelled one Thursday so we went to pub trivia at Pherm Brewery. We stayed for half the contest since the kids were not having a good time, even with dogs to pet.

Food was a motivator, but not enough of one

Visiting a strange dog

We went to Silver Spring to try out a Burmese restaurant and stopped at a playground nearby.

Not sure that's how the equipment is supposed to be used

Silver Spring is a border town--we crossed the border
