go fly a kite
Saturday morning was a busy one. We started out with our usual trek to the Kohl Children's Museum (though this time Overboard came along for the fun), and afterwards, we went across the street to the 2nd annual Glenview Kite Festival.
Just like last year, we met up with the Brandts and had fun oooohing and aaaaahing at all of the various kites. There were super-basic ones that the kids could build at a workshop onsite, plenty of "regular" ones like the triangle kite Overboard dug out of the basement (which had once belonged to Kenny's Aunt Amy), stunt kites that whizzed through the air, diving and swooping, and ginormous kites that resembled Nemo or a big blue teddy bear who didn't seem to have his own TV show, movie, or merchandise deal.
Victoria took some great shots, which she was nice enough to share. And here they are (with commentary).
These were the two Brandt kites. Ava is all about the Hello Kitty.
AJ and Ava get their kites on. So to speak.
This is Kenny flying the Hello Kitty kite.
This is Kenny wondering what the Hello Kitty kite would look like if he let go and it suddenly took a nosedive and attacked the ground, thus causing the string to wrap around the kite 1600 times, thus forcing Victoria to spend the next two hours trying to untangle it, while all the while assuring Evenkeel that it was no big deal.
The family that crashes kites together, um, poses for pictures together?
What's more fun than flying a kite? Getting Daddy to chase you all over the field.
