Company Picnic and Kite Festival

Yesterday afternoon was Bob's company picnic, we had a blast. The kids got to go in those blow up jump rooms, they had a softball game, Gaven was the only kid that played in that. They had football, beanbag tosses and even prizes for some of the games (for the kids). It was a great time. Good food, got to meet some of the people I hear about daily, always nice to put a face with the name.
We came home and everyone was tired but we watched the Cubs game (I fell asleep on the couch after about the 5th inning). It was a good day!

Today we rode over the the university to watch the Kite Festival. What an awesome site! We rode our bikes over, and so I'm over 1,300 miles this year, I was a little worried once the kites were in site that they might not pay attention to where they were riding and crash, but we managed to safely get the festival.
They had so many kites, huge ones, small ones, cartoon characters, animals, plain kites. It was a really neat thing to watch, we just hung out in the grass watching all of them fly.
On top of that it was FREE! Who can beat that?
We had a great time then rode home and we are waiting for my lasagna to come out of the oven then everyone can have a piece of the banana nut bread I made before they go to bed.
Sass of course bailed on us, Luke obviously is much more important! :o)
