On Tuesday, May 6 (I know, I know, I'm really, really behind),
RLCA presented their annual Spring program. The show this year was titled
Power. It was styled after an afternoon or late-night talk show. Abby and Amanda both participated by singing with their respective classes. Alex broke new ground this year and had his first speaking part; that of an Ed McMahon-esque announcer.
On Friday, May 16th, Amanda and her 1st grade class, accompanied by Mommy, took part in the annual field trip to
Longwood Gardens. This trip is always a favorite with the kids as well as the adults. This year presented something new with Longwood's new display called
Nature's Castles. Nature's Castles are a series of fantastic tree houses that are nothing short of stunning.
On Wednesday, May 21, Abigail's 3rd grade class headed to to
Fort Delaware for the final field trip of the '07-'08 school year. The Fort Delaware tours are hosted by a great many actors which help bring the history of the fort to life. Abby had the chance to assist 'Esau', a former slave, in the foundry.
Finally, on Thursday, May 22nd, I played hooky from work and accompanied Abigail, Aidan, Grammy and Mommy to an afternoon
Blue Rocks baseball game. The main draw for this event was that Abigail, along with the RLCA After School Choir, was going to sing to the crowd before the game. The choir did great...which is more than I can say for the Rocks, who lost to the Potomac Stinkin Nationals by a score of 10-3.
