I couldn’t help but be struck by the view as I walked across McCullough Field with my kiddos on Tuesday –

A group of families were wrapping up a youth football practice, a bunch of men were playing an energetic game of pick-up soccer, there were kids out on the playground swinging & running around, doubles teams having a good volley out on the tennis courts, and across the field was the amazing sight of a Maryland State Trooper helicopter that had just landed and was giving tours & photos as part of the City’s Touch-A-Truck event. I even stopped to take a short video pan of the moment:

I was struck by the feeling: this is what community is all about. People spending time with each other, having fun, creating stories, meeting new friends, all doing different things, but all part of the same thing.

A big smile came across my face – and I also captured this pic courtesy of the Parks & Rec team as a family memory for our clan. Cheers Laurel! 🍻
