Kite Festival

This year's kite festival featured an enormous whale shark and octopus. There were lots of people young and old flying their own kites, too. It was all so beautiful.

Flying kites to celebrate a birthday

I have a great group of friends who are willing to participate in some wild ideas. This year's Lake Harriet Kite Festival was on my birthday so I thought that would a fun event. Not only would we fly kites but we would make our own kites.

I made a kite using help from YouTube earlier in the week. I hosted breakfast at my house and then we made three more kites. It was challenging and fun.

I ordered wrapping paper from Shutterfly that I designed from photos of me and friends. Absolutely love love this paper.

Frankie helps hold the paper in place.

It flew for a few seconds before the cross-stick snapped.

Some of the successful commercial kites. There were lots of kites and lots of people out on the lake. It was so beautiful in many ways.
