Concert in the Park

Today we had a wonderful opportunity to get together with one of our friends and her little girl for the afternoon at Kollin Park in Holland. Every Friday at noon there is a concert for kids. We packed up our blanket, lunch, and camera to enjoy an afternoon of music and play. We had a great time and the girls loved dancing.

Before the concert, Olivia took time to stop and smell the flowers.

The musician was without her partner, but it was really neat to see a harpist at a kids concert.

All of the kids were invited to come up to the stage for an instrument and join in for some "band songs". Rachel's mom brought the girls some instruments from home, so they got to play their own instruments (and stay near by...).

Rachel and Olivia took a break from their instruments to take a little walk together. I think they look so adorable holding hands!!

At the end of the concert, Olivia and I were cutting a rug together.

...and dip!

After the concert, the children were invited to come up on stage with their parent to try the harp out. I definitely think Olivia has her dad's musical talent. She was grinning from ear to ear as she got to "play" the harp. We look forward to going back for another concert!
