To Infinity & Beyond!

After the first week of school I thought we needed some rest and relaxation, and while looking on our news website found that there was a kite and balloon "stampede" on a little island "near" us. So after lunch we packed up and since it was just the boys and I we hurried off to the island, with our kite in tow. well not really behind our car, cuz that would ruin it, but it was in our car ready to use. the atmosphere was great, there were plenty of lite breezes, and LOTS of fair food. We were excited to see the hot air balloons and many professional kite-fliers there. unfortunately there weren't any balloons up, apparently they were waiting for nightfall to blow them up, because of course you can see something in the sky at night when it's pitch black outside! but besides that, there were lots of kites there being flown by kids and adults alike, pros and nonpro alike.

Pro

Not so much
There was a band and people racing with kites tied to them, we watched for a few times and some of the little girls wearing the kites looked like they would be lifted off the ground if the wind was just a little stronger
After flying the kites and (me stepping in a mound of red ants) kicking buffalo dung around we went off driving to find THE buffalo, and guess what?! We Found THEM!!!then it was off home to make dinner, bath and bed cuz we were DIRRRTTY!
