Hi Friends,
A beautiful Spring equals allergies for many people. I'm one of those. But seeing the trees and flowers bloom is worth it in my opinion. Nothing a little nose spray and allergy meds can't help. I hope your family is able to get outside and enjoy the nice weather we have been having. Today I'm expressing my gratitude for living in a place with four seasons and so many parks and outdoor recreation opportunities. I grew up and married military and have lived all over the U.S. but to me, no place compares to Annapolis in the Spring. Just Gorgeous!
I have several things to share with you this week - so let's get started.

Pics from Sculpture Garden Picnic
The Sculpture Garden Picnic was last Saturday at the Busch Annapolis Library. Many families came out to see the sculptures, listen to live music, enjoy yummy food truck food, paint mini sculptures from ArtFarm Studio, listen to storytime, and participate in family activities by Macaroni KID Annapolis. It was awesome spending time with and getting to know so many MacKID readers. Special thanks to my dear friend Choyce and my husband Randy for helping out.

Pics from The Wizard of Oz
Last Sunday, my hubby and I went to the Compass Rose Theater on the 3rd floor of Maryland Hall to see the very family-friendly production of the Wizard of Oz. The actors were wonderful and had such beautiful singing voices. A crowd favorite was Buddy who played the role of "Toto". If you are taking young children, arrive early so you can get seats upfront for the best view. The show runs through May 21st and tickets are still available. Purchase tickets here. #sponsored
