We put most of those items to good use but the kites were the big hit. The kids only had enough attention span to fly them for 10 or 20 minutes so they would hand them off and go do something else. Even the little one got to fly a while. She held on to that kite as instructed and she never once let it go. I was impressed.

The area was full of families and various parties. By the end of the day I had lent or given every kire we took with us to someone.

There was a while there where you could look up and see half a dozen kites in the air.

We took a blanket but the kids weren't idle long enough to use it.

I think we'll go again this weekend. The kids want to fish. We have all of the equipment but I dread sitting in the sun and the edge of the lake all day. I promised them we'd go. I better take a hat.

Polly auditioned for a couple plays recently. 2 just this week. She obviously impressed someone. They didn't even wait until the next day to notify her she had earned a role. I know she's excited and we all look forward to seeing another performance.

This one is closer to home and she wont have as much school work so she should enjoy this a little more I think.

Well I hope everyone is having a good summer.

Let's chat sometime.
