Yesterday we joined some friends (and a couple thousand strangers) on the Mall for the Smithsonian Kite Festival. This is one of my favorite D.C. events!
Our friends, S and D met us there with their little one, baby D, who was lookin' o-so-cute in his wacky winter hat!
S and D have tickets to opening day at Nationals Park on Sunday. Hmmm... guess who they'll be cheering for? Clue: not the Nationals.
We always have fun when we hang out with J and R and their brood of three. J and 'lil J checked out the kites....
... E ran alongside me and valiantly tried to help me get my octopus kite into the air...
... and S just tried to make her getaway!
"Look at that kite!" was a commonly uttered phrase.
Kite flying takes a strong wind, a steady hand, and (apparently) a goofy face. What's with the face, Karen??
And then there's that face! What's with that face??
R had better kite flying luck than I did! (And she didn't have to run the length of the Mall dragging an octopus with a five year old shouting, "Run, Ms. Karen, run!" to do it, either!)
We had a great time! I'm looking forward to doing it again next year! - wedding permitting, of course!

That was so much fun! I can't wait to go next year when D's big enough to do some exploring on his own. Thanks for sharing the day with us! :)
Um, I meant to say, when LITTLE D's big enough to do some exploring. Clearly, big D mastered that some time ago.
You know, I've never gone to the kite festival. Maybe next year we'll join with you lil' A :)
Looks like so much fun! You're the third person I know who was in DC this weekend! Ha! Love ya!
