he best way to cool off in the sum-
mer is to be in, on or near the wa-
ter. KidsPost readers did just that
with boat rides, surfing and fish-
ing. Twins Fares and Yara Eloseily
of Alexandria got to see both sides of Niaga-
ra Falls. They took a boat ride to Horseshoe
Falls in Canada, the largest of the three wa-
terfalls that form Niagara Falls.
They weren’t the only twins to enjoy the
water. Reese and Avery Miller of Leesburg
rode the waves at Kiawah Island in South
Carolina.
The Stevens family of Annandale ex-
plored the Norwegian seas. Hazel, Emmett
and To bin Stevens took a boat ride and saw
breathtaking cliffs and waterfalls at one of
Norway’s fjords.
You don’t need to travel far to be a part of
Summer of KidsPost. Here are the rules:
Go on a trip and take along a recent
copy of KidsPost.
Get someone to take a photograph of
you — and siblings or other family members
— holding KidsPost. Just make sure at least
one person in the photo is between the ages
of 5 and 13.
Then fill out the form at wapo.st/
summerofkidspost2019 and attach your
photo. Or mail it to KidsPost at The Wash-
ington Post, 1301 K St. NW, Washington, D.C.- List the full name, age and home-
town of everyone in the photo. We also need
your parent’s phone number and email ad-
dress. We would love for you to include what
made the trip memorable.
Families can submit only one photo, and
it must have been taken after May 24, 2019.
Entries are due by September 1.
At the end of the summer, three randomly
selected families that have sent in photos
will receive books and KidsPost goodies.

songwriter Khalid held the No. 1
spot on Spotify’s most-streamed
artists list, and since last year,
he’s been a fixture on Billboard’s
Hot 100.
After his 2016 hit “Location,”
the sleepy but catchy single that
lives firmly in the digital age of
making connections, the now
21-year-old went from high
school musician on SoundCloud
to major-label Grammy-nomi-
nated arena-touring chart-top-
per.
Even on an expansive stage
Saturday night at Capital One
Arena, there was still something
immediately accessible about
Khalid: With a shy grin and
playful shimmies, he seemed like
a younger sibling’s best friend,the one who lived down the
block, or the undergrad who
wowed at the open mic.
Before he dominated stream-
ing with relatable tracks about
youthful angst and joy, he spent
much of his formative years
moving around because of his
mother’s military career. Khalid
eventually spent his senior year
of high school in El Paso and
went on to write songs that
would become part of his debut
album, “American Teen,” a col-
lage of gentle, R&B-inflected
melodies lapping against Kha-
lid’s signature jagged croon that
feels every bit as arid as the
desert landscapes featured on
the covers of his releases.
Despite all the runs and belt-
ing that Khalid can do, his voice
rings hollow, an untethered re-
verberation against slick, genre-melding production.
His latest album, “Free Spirit,”
offers bigger production on
17 meandering tracks. Producers
Disclosure, Charlie Handsome
and Hit-Boy are able to coax
flashes of promise out of Khalid’s
vocals, something that’s not just
hitting notes but actually
conveying uncertainty and
interiority.
Those flashes came and went
at his concert, and though the
rousing live band and charming
dancers felt unified surrounded
by the brightly hued lighting,
Khalid’s matte vocals only ad-
hered loosely instead of leading
the charge, flatlining as he
reached for high moments in
understated anthem “Intro” but
then rekindling to falsetto-crisp-
ness in glossy jam “Talk.”
