It's a bird, it's a plane...

naaah. It's just a kite. But not just one kite, thousands of kites! Saturday afternoon the Ochoa gang drove up to Austin for the Zilker Kite Festival. That night the girls left the kids with the men so we could enjoy The Domain. We had dinner at Kona Grill (so yummy!) and then enjoyed a little shopping.

Sunday morning we got up, packed the cars and kids, and took off for the park. With a stop at Subway to grab some lunch we were ready for a fun day. I thought we were getting a jump on things and ahead of the crowd. I was wrong. A little miscommunication as far as parking put a slight tension in the air, but all was well when we finally made it to the park.

We had a great time out there this year. M was able to get his kite in the air (last year he couldn't get it up), so he redeemed himself. Kim and my mom worked hard at flying their kite (see them on the blanket?). The kids loved being outside. Uncle Mike tried his best to get Z's kite in the air, but finally gave up and was content with the blue butterfly. Overall I think Pappasito had the most fun with his kite. :)

Can't wait until next year! :)
