Kite Festival

A couple weeks ago, there was a free kite festival in town.  There were kite flying experts who "danced" their huge kites to music!  We didn't watch much of the show, but we did head to the kids tent where they got to make free kites!  

We meet up with our neighbors there.

After making the kites we got some corn dogs, Gracin had ketchup all over his face but he was happy.

Then we headed to the beach right there and tried out the kites.

We thought it was pretty funny.  There was this couple by us on the beach, who apparently bought a really fancy kite at the festival.  They tried forever over and over again trying to get it to fly without any luck.  And here were our kids, flying their homemade kites.... by them selves!

Rhylan's kite was flying so well, she actually got board of it, so she put the string under a rock.  Her kite continued to fly the whole afternoon while she dug and made sand castles near by.

Hazel hung back and watched.

When you already have ketchup on your face... sand sticks very well.
