Kites!

Today was the kite festival in DC. We went down to the National Monument this morning with boys and met up with Dave, Jean and Ruby. The boys loved flying kites but Jamie did keep forgetting to hold on and his Diego kite took a dive a couple of times. There were thousands of people flying kites today. There was a professional competition and lots of homemade kites too. We had Spiderman and Diego kites. It is a beautiful day, sunny and windy and a bit chilly. Perfect for flying kites.

(Below) Cameron, Ruby and Jamie were looking at the Nemo kite display. They had lots of clown fish and a shark and diver kite that needed a bit more wind to get off the ground.

(Below) Jamie checks out his Diego kite which Grant seems to be flying more than Jamie! Look at the cherry blossoms. Today is also the start of Cherry Blossom Festival in DC.

(Below) Cameron found it difficult to look at his kite because of the sunshine.(Above) We passed the White House on the way home and couldn't resist a quick photo of Obama's new place...that's what Grant is hoping for anyway.
