Kite Festival

Last weekend we went to the Kite Festival. Nathan was so looking forward to it. He read every day, and got way more then the required amount of points. He got to choose between a book and a kite as his prize and was all set to get a book, until he saw all the kites there were to choose from. And even though he already had 2 of his own he got another (HUGE) one. Tyler and I slathered the kids with SPF 50 but forgot to cover ourselves really well, so we got toasted  and have awesome farmer's tans now, but we still had so much fun.

The kids did really well at keeping their kites up after we helped them get started. I took lots of video but it was hard to take pictures while we were all running around.

They had a fire truck, booths, and all sorts of bouncy things there so after we were done flying kites we took the kids to do some of those. The kids got to climb all over in a real fire truck.

Ava loved the princess bouncy house and used almost all her tickets there. Nathan was more adventurous and decided to go down the huge slides, like this 30 ft one. Tyler got to go too so he could help Ava.... check out her face in his one- I love how Nathan was holding her so she wouldn't be scared:

Tyler had fun too- 

It was a great weekend and we are so proud of Nathan for being such a great reader! We love you!!!!
