Kids Theater
In the spirit of entertaining our little ones, the Gazette had an article on kids theater...Bethesda Imagination Stage targets those as young as 2. The article also featured Glen Echo park performances.
We are thinking of taking Sebastian to the next show at Imagination Stage Wake Up, Brother Bear! this Saturday.
This new, experiential theatre piece developed and produced by Imagination Stage, is an intimate introduction to live theatre for children ages 2-5 years and their teachers or caregivers. The audience is invited into the world of Brother and Sister Bear as they discover the seasons of the year. Children may join in the action throughout the show. Themes of the cycle of the seasons and the dreams that we pursue from day to day and year to year underpin the story which is funny at times but also reflective, gentle and a delightful exploration for young imaginations. Performances run 40 minutes.
January 23, 27-30 & February 6 at 10:30 and 11:45 AM
January 26, February 2-5 at 10:30 AM
Tickets: $7
They have the whole year of shows listed: http://www.imaginationstage.org/shows-a-tickets/0910-season#storytheatre

GKV: today at 11am!
Hi all,
This wkend, Evan, Jon and I have done an "indoor playground" adventure, hitting all the major playspots... or most of them. We did Port Discovery Friday night ($2/person family fun night the 3rd Fri of every month), Playseum on Sat ($5/person), Great Kids Village in Downtown SS yesterday (currently $6 per child as a grand opening special), and are headed to GKV in Columbia today.
PD was packed, but we still had fun... esp. in the water room.
Playseum is a fave as it has the "pet store" with real animals (mostly bunnies) that Evan loves to hold.
GKV in SS is 3500 sq ft, open, light, airy... but got crowded quickly. We liked it and will likely go back as it has enough space to actually run around which most of the others do not.
Looking fwd to GKV in Columbia as it is 24,000(!) square feet and hopefully means lots more to do and see and enjoy.
SOO... we are heading there at 11am today (they are opening early today) for fun and lunch and then back in the nhood for hopefully some time in the park in the late afternoon. (Evan will likely nap from 2-3p today).
If you are interested, join us. Cost for the GKV is a bit more than its new counterpart in SS, but still reasonable. Check out www.greatkidsvillage.com for directions.
Ciao.

Sorry for the delay in officially telling you all about Judah's little sister. She arrived early Friday morning and while she came out tiny (5.8) she's totally healthy and in my opinion, very beautiful. Evidently Judah loves his baby sister and is handling the newcomer quite well.
Here is a photo from Friday.
