Kite Festival 2012

Washington DC held its annual Kite Festival last week.  We decided we would drop by for a few hours and enjoy the festivities.  There were a lot of people there this year to celebrate 100 Years of Cherry Blossoms.  This year was the first year we actually got our kite to fly, which was a definite plus. We did learn though that what goes up, must come down and it took a big fall with a million other kite strings swaying around it. We then spent the rest of the time bonding with all the people that were entangled with us.  Opps.  It didn't seem matter that kite strings were snared everywhere, everyone was was having a good time and care free.  It's always nice to see people relaxed and just enjoying life, especially in such a fast paced area.  Kate and Abby's highlight was the puppy they played with in the grass, so cute.

When we finally untangled the kite, we headed home to enjoy General Conference.  While we were walking back Abby neglected to give us a clear message of when she had to go to the bathroom.  Poor Brett experienced a warm shower down his back as he was carrying her on his shoulders.  I have to admit, it was pretty funny. Sorry babe. Good times.
