Today we went down to Camp Casey for the local Kite Festival. We got there at the tail end of the event, due to Aidan's nap, but we still got to see some amazing kites. Aidan was in awe and kept pushing his hood back so he could see everything. Chloe couldn't stop talking from the moment she saw the kites from the car windows. Bailey was so excited to go on a walk that she couldn't stop sniffing everything. There were trick kites, people flying kites to music, spinners and so much more. It was really neat to see. The weather was perfect for kite flying, a bit chilly but an awesome wind that kept the kites flying high.
We headed up to the lighthouse and the fort after a while to look around. It has been a few years since we've brought Chloe over there. The height of the fort made me nervous when she was a toddler. She was pretty excited to see the lighthouse but too scared to go up to the top. Maybe in a few years. Once she saw the fort in the distance she asked if we could go to the "playground". That of course got a good laugh. We walked around the main part of the fort for a while and let the kids look at the guns and into the rooms. We weren't really prepared for a day of hiking, we had the umbrella stroller with us (definitely not a great choice for hiking around). It meant that I had to lift the stroller, Aidan and diaper bag down stairs. I can feel it in my shoulders tonight.
It was nice to get out of the house for some family time.
