It's a Kite!

Last weekend we checked out the local annual Kite Festival. It was wonderful to see so many families out with their picnic lunches and flying their own kites. There was even an exposition of professional kite flyers with "routines" set to music. I had no idea there were professional "pilots" but they were really amazing to watch. 

As we walked to the event, Adam kept pointing and exclaiming, "A kite! Another kite!"

The "open flying zone" for the amateurs.

Really big kites.

We love checking out these local events and festivals and look forward to a summer full of them, and we were glad to share the afternoon with Michael's sister Amy and family. More cousin time!
