Morro Bay Kite Festival

Last April we took our 4 youngest kids to the Kite Festival in Morro Bay (Spencer and Tyler were at a jazz festival in Santa Cruz that day). We'd heard about it lots before, but this was our first time going. We loved it!! Morro Bay is the perfect place for it because it's always windy next to the rock.

They had free kites for kids to color and fly. That was fun.

They had just rewatched The Last Airbender series, so Brennan drew Appa. 

They were simple little free kites, but they were super easy to fly!

We went to the top of the sand dunes, and I love the pictures I got from there, with the tall grass and  bunches of kites in the background!





We stayed much longer than we expected. We went down to SLO that morning to help one of Dave's coworkers move, and we figured we'd just stop in Morro Bay on the way home. We ended up staying for hours! It was so fun.





They had a bunch of professional kite shows, and they were amazing! There was music playing on a loud speaker, and the kites did all these cool flips and loops in unison. I wonder how they keep the strings from getting all tangled up, becaues they were weaving in and out. 

This was a cool one. The two kites had tons of personality as they danced around each other.. 

Spencer and Tyler were bummed they missed out. We'll have to go again this year!
