Lawrence Kite Festival

One of Clark's attending dr's invited us over for breakfast on Saturday. He has 2 cute boys and one on the way. Clark told him I have been bored out of my mind and looking for things to do, so he invited us over so I can meet the kids and wife. We had breakfast burritos. The best part was the eggs were from their own chickens! They have 4 chickens in their back yard...seriously crazy, right?! We went in their backyard, and there they were, just chillin in their little cage. This got Clark thinking, he asked LOTS of questions about matenance , he thinks we should own chickens now when we get our own place; I mean fresh eggs everyday...sure hunny, whatever you say. Luckily the whole "own our own place" won't be for a few years, so maybe he'll forget this idea.
After breakfast, we went to the Lawrence kite festival. It was run by an outreach program to tell people about the free lunch program for the kids over the summer. We also got to make out own kits and attempt flying them. It was 99* degrees that day, so I mostly hovered in the shade (which provided little relief) and Clark ran around flying the kite.
There was a Dad and his son there attempting to fly a kite. It was quite comical. The boy was probably about 2 years old and just couldn't quite get the concept of how to fly a kite. He wanted to so badly hold the kite, but when he did, it always died, and then he cried. The Dad would try to tell him he needed to run and would show him, but when he ran away, the kid would just cry to hold the kite. It went round and round for a good while until the Dad finally just got so frustrated, he picked up the kid and went to the car.
