One of our favorite events in DC is the kite festival. Everyone brings a kite and gathers around from the Washington Monument to the Capital. There are professional competitions, but mainly amateurs like us. Basically you try to establish your own 10 feet of space and cross your fingers that your kite flies and doesn't get tangled in anyone else's kite (unfortunately, these two things can be quite challenging!).
Here is the beginning of our adventure. We decided to take the metro downtown for added excitement.
Next stop, picnic lunch on the Mall (another term used for downtown around the monuments).
The babies were happy tangling up the kite strings.
Occasionally, they even brought us a crashed kite!
Easton was our main kite flyer...kite flying is something that brings pure joy and satisfaction to a kid!
The guys admiring their kite...it finally attained one of the highest positions in the sky!
Easton's kite is the smallest speck in the sky.

A view of the of the chaos...
Cache decided that flying kites was too frustrating, so David decided to fly Cache instead...
Declan enjoyed himself thoroughly. He grabbed an apple, a nice place on the blanket, and enjoyed the kite flying properly!
After a good afternoon of flying, we packed up for our adventure back home!
I remember when we did that with you guys and I have a million pictures to prove it. good times!
