The Berkeley Kite Festival is just like it sounds, a big kite festival. I've heard such great things about it and always wanted to go but have had other conflicts. This year when I heard about it, I put it on the calender so we would be sure to make it...and it did not disappoint! Wow, I never knew you should fly such huge kites! This is just a few of the hundreds of kites flying...
There was also a kite making area for the kids. Cameron carefully colored hers but Timo was way more interested in building the kite than coloring it.
Then Cameron was ready to build hers and take it up for flight...and with a little coaching from Daddy, the kites actually flew!
It was a little too crowded in that area so we took them to the top of a hill to really try and fly them...and they did! (But next year I think we'll bring our real kite to fly)
Lunch break...our new favorite junk food...corn dogs! (the kids got hooked on them at the beach this summer)
And what's a festival without bouncy houses and a big slide!
This was our first year so I wasn't sure what to expect...but next year we'll be more prepared...kites, chairs, kites, picnic and our kites! (it seems we were the only ones there that didn't bring our kite, who knew??) But the festival was so much fun, it's going on our calender for next year for sure!
