Austin Kite Festival

On Sunday we headed downtown for the Austin Kite Festival and met up with our friends, the Seibels and Andersons. This is one of our favorite events to go to every year and it is fun to share it with friends. The girls loved watching all the kites and trying to fly them. They also enjoyed playing with their friends and trying out the hula hoops.

We arrived early to beat the traffic and enjoyed a picnic snack while watching some of the kites already flying high.
One of the local music stations was playing music for the festival and Emma got up and started dancing.

We had a fabulous time and can't wait for it to come again. Though, Andy can wait since he got hit by two kites. Once in the shoulder and once in the face. He is still recovering.
