Fireworks and Flying Kites

As usual, we had another fun weekend! We started the weekend by watching the Sky Sox fireworks on Friday night. Ashlyn has really been enjoying watching them. She also likes that she gets to stay up late because they don't usually go off until 10:00 pm. or later! She just loved watching them! The Sky Sox always puts on a great show.

I bought Ashlyn an Elmo kite the other day on clearance at Target. I thought it would be fun for a windy day. Well, of course in Colorado we didn't have to wait long to use it! On Saturday morning, we headed to the park nearby and flew the kite. It was the perfect amount of wind. Ashlyn really enjoyed seeing Elmo in the air. It didn't hold her attention for too long. I think she was too distracted by the nearby playground. We headed over there for some fun playtime. After the park, we went down to Old Colorado City. We got some really good fruit and vegetables that Ashlyn and I have been enjoying all week. We went to lunch at an AWESOME pizza place in Manitou Springs. It was a great day!

Ashlyn thought it was pretty cool to look at!

What a neat kite!

A nice ride on the swing with Dad.
