The Kite Festival

So, we made it through the kite festival. I think the kids had lots of fun (well, they didn't want to leave). My mom and I went together and met Kim there, and between us all, we had 7 children. DeLayne came down from work and joined in on the fun.

The whole experience was quite overwhelming. When we first arrived, we were all very hungry and wanted to eat. We found a little stand that sold just about everything. My mom and I shared the fish and chips (that were absolutely delicious) and Karson a corn dog (of course) and snow cone. Ady just ate a bottle :). After lunch, we decided to try some bounce houses, but failed terribly when we bought way too many tickets (little did we know about the free games) and Karson wouldn't even get on them. The kids all had different ideas of what to do, when we finally decided to go to the train. Finally, a success. The kids rode the train 3-4 times!!

We were pretty worn out at this point. It didn't seem as though we did too much, but we were there for 3 1/2 hours and the sun was getting pretty hot. The moms said it was time to go (we didn't even fly kites).The kids were a little upset (not that we didn't fly kites, but that we had to leave all the fun), but reluctantly followed us out to the bus to get a ride back to our cars. I said I wouldn't do it again next year, but all in all, it was for the kids. I am glad I got them out of the house, and that they had fun.
