Great Lakes Kite Festival

A few weekends ago we took the kids to Grand Haven to see the Great Lakes Kite Festival and enjoy a little sunshine.  While the kids wouldn't go on the sand at all, likely for a bunch of reasons, we still managed to have a good time and enjoy the sight of some pretty impressive kites.

We had a packed lunch on the walk right before the pier.


And the kids got a real treat when a barge motored past us carrying some pretty heavy machinery.


The kite displays were pretty impressive, including a jellyfish and a giant air guitar.


We walked the pier, but Mollie was moving like a snail so the guys ventured ahead.



She kept walking funny too.



As it turned out, she had pooped in her diaper and was horribly uncomfortable, so I carried her the rest of the way to the lighthouse.


By the time we got back to the car, the sun and the walking had tuckered Mollie right out!


But Baylor was, unbelievably, able to stay awake on our way home.  And talked the entire way.


It was a fun time, and hopefully we'll get to go again next year.  And who knows ... maybe we'll actually be able to go onto the sand and really see the kites.  There's always next year!
