National Kite Festival!

Some friends of ours told us that the National Kite Festival was going on last weekend, so we actually decided to be head down. We have been really bad about taking advantage of all the fun things that go on in DC, so we were happy to join the crowds down at the National Mall. We left early in the morning to take Damon to a skate park in Arlington to ride his bike....then drove to the city.

This must have been a good gust of wind for there to be that many kites in the air. It was NOT a very windy day....
but still fun to be out together

Damon and sweet little Hannah. It was great to meet up with such a big group of friends....(no pictures to prove it...but we had 5 or 6 families in our group)


Unfortunately, this was what the sky looked like for most of the day....notice...2 kites in the air.

What fun! It's too bad there wasn't better wind.
