Concert in the park

Yesterday, we skipped out of work a bit early and went to a park at around 4:00 pm. We were there to attend a Friday evening family concert series at a place called “Magical Bridge Playground”.

We had a very nice evening. My brother-in-law was playing with the band as drummer and had invited us for the event: https://www.facebook.com/SoulProviders/
The concert was right in the middle of a playground, which was great for us. Since we got there almost two hours early, we had initially considered doing something in the city before the event. But we realized that neither of us felt like venturing into crowded spaces, and the idea of just hanging out at the park was far more appealing. The playground itself had a lot of interesting and unusual equipment for kids to play in, and was attached to a library and community center with a nice café.

We spent almost two hours watching kids play, sitting and talking over cappuccinos and croissants, and winding down from the week. Before we knew it, our family and their friends arrived and the music started. The music was very good and it was not too loud for us, making it quite the ideal concert setup. It was a very pleasant evening and a good change for our family to get out and about. I think I am still getting used to the idea of being in the “real world” again and socializing after the long hiatus over the past year and a half. We got back home by around 8:00 pm after picking up pizza on the way for dinner.

The song we enjoyed the most: Take Me to the River 

We spent this morning listening to the Talking Heads version on full blast, following through with the very catchy A Clean Break (Let's Work).
