Every year during the February long weekend there is a kite festival that happens in the middle of nowhere. We've gone (I think!) every year since we've been here, but this year we learned it's a whole new level of fun bringing a two year old along. Our very chatty, extra bouncy, piggy-tailed little toddler made the drive to the middle-of-nowhere completely worth it. Even the drive home. YES. EVEN THE DRIVE HOME. Which entailed both children crying in unison; one because she was hungry and the other because she didn't want to leave. And then the latter child continued to cry because she really, really wanted a piece of cheese. Not because she was hungry. But because this child always wants a piece of cheese. But, honestly, the drive was worth it! Haha.
Nory was immediately drawn to the bear kites which she began to affectionately call "my bears". The purple one was her favourite and she begged and begged to be able to feed him. Since we couldn't do that, we decided to just hang out with these guys for a while.....
It wasn't until her friend arrived that we were able to migrate away from the bears to the bouncy castles and big slides. I took advantage of Jet's snoozing and Phil and Nory's time in the play area to see that there were, in fact, other kites at this festival besides the bears! HAAA! I took a few quick snaps and then we decided it was time to go before the trip (which was going all too smoothly) blew up in our face. Which it did, as I already told you, on the way home.
PERHAPS we missed the window of opportunity to sneak into the car with two still-happy kiddos. We're still learning here, you guys! Regardless, the outing was fun and Nory got her piece of cheese the moment we walked in the door AND she's been talking about the kites every day since. I better Google us a kite festival for the summer. Anybody?????
