2010 Kite Festival


Today was a wonderful, long, crazy day
We left the house at 10 AM
Went down to UC to the
Kids in the Kitchen
Be Healthy. Be Active. Event
~The boys
ran obstacle courses
made potato heads out of veggies
planted seeds
Guessed what different fruits and vegetables were
blindfolded
(Ben knew them all)
did other various arts and crafts
danced
tumbled
ran
Then we went to the
Kite Festival
where Ben insisted on bringing his kite
and it was fantastic!
He flew it all by himself
for over and hour
and Tommy had a blast running around



Ben's Shark Kite

which he really wanted to fly by the

Scuba Diver kite...

but couldn't as it was flying in the professional area

Flying kites are pure bliss...


Tommy playing around with Ben,
Ben, keeps his eye on the kite...
I love it!



Then, we went to IKEA
(can't go up in that direction and not go...)
and
got
home
at
9:00 PM
~
Tommy was crashed






Zoo in Spring

I know this last image may not seem like much now...
but in the coming years,
when Tommy is bigger
this pull at my heartstrings







Easter

Easter
a day we traditionally spend with
The McGills
but this year, we did it at our house
and
I had to steal this first picture from Sonja
-my Easter arrangement-
decorated with hearts
made by my grandmother
