Kite Festival

Today we went to the annual Kite Festival at Zilker park. We were thankful to tag along with Kristen and her family, especially since her parents live so close to the park. We had a great time checking out the kites and attempting to fly our own, though there was not much wind so it was a slight challenge to get the kites up. Emma loved the other things the festival had to offer, like hula hoops and bubbles. It was certainly a great family outing.

A view of the city. If you look closely you might see some kites.

Emma trying to capture some bubbles.

Abby enjoying the view from the stroller.

Emma attempting to work this huge hula hoop.

My attempt at the hula hoop. I must say I am a good hula hooper. It was something I placed in back in the day of field days at school.


Attempting to wrangle in the kids.

Andy and Emma attempting to fly a kite. By the end our kite broke. Oh well. =(

Abby loved playing on the blanket with her toys.
