Picnic with the Pops

We went to our first picnic with the pops concert over the weekend. It consists of the Columbus Symphony Orchestra performing an hour set, followed by another set with a guest musician, all at an outdoor theater, on the lawn. This night’s guest was Daryl Stuermer, the guitarist for Genesis and Phil Collins when they tour. I loved hearing Genesis music accompanied by a full orchestra, while the girls just enjoyed having a picnic, and playing in the grass.

Jenna and Alyssa have been spending the week at girl scout camp.
