Kite Festival

The Kite festival is an Austin tradition and has become one of our family traditions, so when I realized that Kris would be out of town during it I was sadden. But I invited Meagan and Elias to come with us and we had a great time.Meagan pushed the stroller with both kids in it down the hill (and back up at the end), the kids played and we chatted. Once we got there, I gave Elias an extra kite of ours and we got out Charis' kite. And for a little while we were all flying the two kids kites. We had a lot of fun!Then Charis wanted to eat and spent the next hour and a half (what felt like forever) sitting in the stroller, eating and watching all the kites. Meagan and I laughed several times that Charis was still eating her cheese pasta!
But Meagan, Elias and I kept flying our kites. I even got my kite out for a little while. Then I spent a little time with both of the kids blowing bubbles. I have discovered that all kids love bubbles and it was definitely true for these two.Before leaving I did get Charis excited again about flying her kite and we got it up pretty high. We enjoyed the festival and were honored that Meagan and Elias came with us.
