The other weekend we went to the Kite Festival. Luckily it was really windy that day (how'd they plan so well??). Unluckily, it was really cold wind.
So we donned our winter coats and braved the cold.
We started out making and decorating our very own kites!
All kites had to meet the approval of Grey, the Inspector of Awesomeness.
Look at those kites go!
It was so windy, it didn't take much to get the kites up. We just had to make sure it didn't whip any passerbys in the face.
And then one big gust came through and just like
that their stings snapped. Hero mommy went after the felled kites, though they were done flying kites after that. Almost every day since then, they talk about this experience when I ask them how their day was each evening. That plus how they got to ride in the tractor from and back to the parking lot. Ah, boys.
Next we watched some professionals do some kite dancing. They had music and choreography, the whole shabang. Pretty impressive.
Grey watched this "kite" the whole time, instead.
Then we just walked around to look at all the kites being flown.
There was a big field for anyone to fly their own kites.
It was so cool to see kites fill the whole sky!
We saw a lot of Asian-inspired kites. Is that where kite flying originated?
And then we all decided it was too cold and went home. Chilly but fun!
