H Street Festival

Last weekend we went to the H Street Festival (a neighborhood near Union Square). There was live music, food, and art. We stopped to listen to a duo playing children’s songs and Louis “danced” along (moving his hips back and forth while holding onto the railing). In the third picture I think Louis was excited to be looking at a dog.

This festival also had a few less common festival sightings such as the Baltimore Rock Opera. I really don’t understand what this organization is all about. When we walked by their booth someone was talking into a microphone trying to convince bystanders to enter a competition to “rock out” (presumably play air guitar?) on a small stage.

Apparently part of rock opera involves wearing strange costumes, such as this monster pictured below. Can you blame Louis for being scared of it?

I should mention that we heard about the date of the festival from our friend Amanda (pictured below from when she babysat Louis for our anniversary). Amanda also rock climbs and is patient enough to help with Louis so we can take turns climbing.
