The Kite Festival

After the soccer game, we headed over to the beach for the 21st Annual Kite Festival.
There wasn't a whole lot of wind so not too many kites were flying on Saturday ~ on Sunday more were flying, but we didn't get there in time to see them all.

And with the warm weather we had (and the cool water) ~ the mist rolled in off the lake. It was really strange because it looked all foggy around the beach and the campground ~ but just down the boardwalk a little way the sun was shining and there was little fog!

Weston putting together DoodleBird's kite......

Weston running after the kite since DoodleBird let go of the string....

DoodleBird holding onto his kite....Statue of Liberty style.



The cousins having a water fight with some water squirters Ginny brought ~ it was great fun!

DoodleBird still holding on to his kite......


Ginny showing DoodleBird how to use the squirters......

DoodleBird squirting Ginny ~ when you are 2 years old you have no loyalties.....(except to your mother ~ HA!)



Getting buried...although Bug can't be still long enough to actually GET buried! I think it is some unwritten rule that you need to (a) dig a large hole and/or (b) get buried in the sand when you are at the beach =)

All the cousins....and see how sunny and blue the sky is? Yes this picture was taken the same day the previous ones were taken....we just aren't on the beach!
Bean and Bug spent the night at the campground with Brian and Ginny ~ so after church on Sunday we went to pick them up. Sunday was a VERY warm day ~ the cool breeze blowing off the lake was a very welcome respite from the heat!


DoodleBird wanted to fly his kite a little when we arrived ~ so after that was done we headed to the lighthouse.....the boys decided to take the "scenic route" there....










Whew! They made it all the way to the end!

At the end of the pier ~ and yes this is pretty much my most favorite picture that has been taken in quite awhile =)


Silly boys! They are waiting for the rest of our group!

And here is the rest of the group =)


And it's a race back to the camper to get a drink!
