Kite "Festival"

 We've enjoyed going to the local kite festival for the past 5 years. I found the date online but when we showed up and only saw about 2 big kites and 12 little kites, we knew something was different this year. Thankfully we'd brought our kites we bought last year and it was a nice, breezy day, so we still enjoyed our time flying them and Nana and Grandpa met us there too. I spoke with a couple that were there with a big kite (an indicator that they at least knew of the annual event) and apparently it had been cancelled in January. Next year, though, it'll be run by the city and should be back up to full speed again. They were super nice, though, and helped us get Owen's incredibly tangled string cleaned up. He also let me fly his two-string kite!!! It wasn't as simple as I thought and he was super patient telling me the same things over and over again. Grandpa gave it a try too!










 After enjoying kites for a bit, we headed to a Japanese ice cream place nearby (since there was no "free icecream" at the festival). Nana and Grandpa hadn't been before and it's always fun to watch them make it. Owen did a "create your own" and picked mango icecream with cookie dough topped with gummy worms and chocolate chips. Interesting!
