Hello Friends,
Happy Spring! I love this time of year when the flowers are poking up through the soil and the trees are starting to bud and flower. If you get a chance, drive out to DC near the Jefferson Memorial to see the Cherry Blossoms. They are gorgeous and should hit peak bloom this week. Click here for the bloom schedule.
Last Saturday was our 2023 Anne Arundel Summer Camp Expo and Family Fun Day. It was wonderful to see so many of you there. I hope you had as much fun as my daughter and I did. If you won one of the door prizes, you will be emailed this week.
I'd like to give some THANK YOU shout outs!
