Kite Festival

Saturday we headed to Spanish Fork Canyon to a Kite Festival. The Festival is in celebration of the new wind turbines at the mouth of Spanish Fork Canyon. It took place at the Spanish Fork Reservoir, Gun Club, and Spanish Fork Campround. The kids enjoyed a free otter pop. And as you can see in the pics, they are huge. The kites were pulled around the reservoir by a waverunner. The large cat was pulled around by an ATV. It was alot of fun, and was glad it was so fun because I missed the BYU vs. Washington game for this. I called Joe often for score updates and was very pleased with the end result.

Great pics. I didn't even know that reservoir existed - is it open to the public for other than special kite days? And was the giant butterfly a kite? or was it just a giant butterfly that landed for a photo op? Looks like fun. BYU vs Washington was a waaaaaaay fun game to watch - hope you DVRed it.

By the way, please tell me you have VERSUS on your satellite dish. I don't want to miss the game because of a piece of eighty-year-old cake.

Please-o-please-o-please.

What handsome boys!! It was a fun day and I am thinking it should be a new tradition for us. I need you to e-mail me those pics because I am a dork and forget my camera everywhere I go!!

ha...versus is on a package I don't have. I'll upgrade for the game though if you want.

I can't believe you missed the game for a kite festival! I told the people we were watching the game with that you were working.

I feel so ashamed. A kite festival.

That's probably why that ghost boy came to visit you. He was haunting your decision.

I think it's great that David was with his family instead of at home watching the game. Priorities were in the right place...good for you!

I'd spend the whole day anyday with my little family over a football game. Actually, that's the day we took all the pictures we posted. Good choice. -Brett
