Kite Festival!

On Sunday, I went to a kite festival and it was the most fun I’ve had in a while! Seriously, if you ever have the opportunity to go to a kite festival, go!!! It’s so much fun! For me, it was a day of bike riding, hula hooping, hanging out at the beach with friends, and of course kite flying!

Have you ever seen so many kites in one place? It was so exciting to me! :D

My dragon kite got so many compliments! We had a hard time getting him up in the beginning. Actually, that was the joke of the day. We’d never heard so many guys openly talk with strangers about not being able to get it up. “Hey man, I can’t seem to get it up. Any tips?” har har! :P

I wish I would have found out about the kite festival sooner because they had a contest for best handmade kite! I would have loved to have made one! Oh well! It didn’t stop me from having fun! :)

I had to attempt hula hooping and flying a kite! It actually wasn’t very hard. To my surprise, the kite was very cooperative!

It was such a fun day! I hope you had a lovely weekend too! :)

    Hi there…this looks like it was fun. I live outside Washington, DC and have enjoyed the kite festival at the Washington Monument on a nummber of occasions. I am just popping in to let you know I am your partner for Artichoke Designs Homemade Craft Swap. I have a package done up for you and should be able to pop it to the post office tomorrow. Likely, because it will travel across the US, you’ll get it on the weekend or early next week. I hope you enjoy it. I had fun getting it together for you.

      Hey there! I’ve been wondering who my swap partner was because I guess I’m sending to one person and receiving from someone else. I only knew who I was sending to. Anyway, it’s nice to meet ya! I’m so excited for what you’re sending! This is my first craft swap. So fun! :D

          Hi Amy! I just tried to post a comment on your blog but I don’t think it worked so I hope you get this…

          I just wanted to say thank you for the goodies you sent me for the Artichoke Designs swap! The towels are so soft and so well made! Thank you! And the soap is so yummy smelling! When I opened the package, the smell immediately filled the room! I love everything you sent! Thanks a bunch! Also, I voted for your shamrock towel on Ravelry. Good luck! :)
