What Didn't Make the Cut

Sarah: Acton Children's Business Fair (interesting for 8-year-old but competes directly with Kite Fest timing). Drop-in Art Making at Walters (low-energy for my kids at 5 and 8). CityLit Festival (tweens-and-up content). Greater Annapolis Ballet Firebird (Stravinsky is not kid-friendly).
Marcus: Clark's Elioak Farm Spring Garden Party ($125-175 for family of five). Galaxy Bowling ($100 after shoes and drinks, starts 9:30pm). CityLit Festival (hidden cost is opportunity cost vs Kite Fest).
David: Children's Book Festival (author readings = eye-roll for tweens). Lowe's Build and Grow (a 6-year-old activity that people keep trying to sell as "STEM"). Clark's Elioak Farm (princess = tween mortification). Free Youth Tennis at Patterson Park (showing up as a beginner at 10-12 feels awkward).
