Cute Kid Pix February 2026

More pictures that didn't get their own posts...

Scout Sunday was early in February and our scout carried the troop flag in the Presentation of the Colors just before Mass started.

Scout Sunday

We joined a local indoor pool which has "Wibit Sundays" with inflatables in the pool to make it more exciting.

Very exciting

For Mardi Gras, we made our own King Cake. It was very tasty and fun to make!

Decorating the cake

I went over to Virginia for a board game swap. On the way back I stopped off for some geocaches. One was at Lock 8 on the C & O Canal. The canal connects Georgetown in the District of Columbia with "way out west" Ohio as an early form of cheap transportation before railroads went in. It's not in use anymore but has been turned into a national park with hiking and biking trails along with historical locations. This lock has seen better days but it was fun to visit and the cache was easy to find.

Lock 8 and me

Another geocache is on the grounds of Glen Echo Park, though it is a virtual cache, so no actual container to find. The park was an amusement park back in the day, with bumper cars, a carousel, a ballroom, and other attractions. The carousel still runs on weekends in good weather and the ballroom hosts dance lessons and social dances. People would take the trolly from downtown DC for a fun afternoon in the country.

I was surprised to see some art literally on the ground. Complacency is a depiction how people are sinking into the ground since they don't care about climate change. A bit preachy, and maybe not entirely accurate.

Art with a message

We went for another hike along the Savage Mill Trail, which has plenty of scenic view of the Patuxent River.
