Maryland Day 2009

Every year, we venture 5 minutes north from our neighborhood to take in the annual Maryland Day festivities. We enjoy the Carnival at the Stamp Student Union and Nymburu Cultural Center and Ag Day near the barns the best. JBoy and Cboy enjoyed petting the animals and feeding the cows. Because of our hay fever, we couldn't last in the barns for too long. JBoy entertained other guest with his funny comments. During an exhibition of horse shoe making, JBoy commented on a display plaque of various horse shoes, "Daddy! There's the horse shoe? Yeah. Yeah. And This one Daddy, That's the horse sock!" Funny kid.

We got there a wee bit late this year because Cboy had a soccer game right before. Next year, we know to skip any morning activities so we can get a full day in.The carnival at the Student union is the most popular b/c there are free balloon sculpture artists creating the fantastic balloon creations, free slushies, free cotton candy, and free soul food in the Nyumburu Cultural Center.
On Hornbake Library, had the flags of the world. I didn't have time to take a photo with the Sierra Leone and Trinidad.
