Wind Fest '09

Wind Fest or the kite festival was this past weekend in Spanish Fork. Which only make sense because we have so much wind. I didn't know that it was always windy here in the morning until we moved here. It is ALWAYS windy in the morning until 11am. Almost on the dot 11am and the wind dies down, that is unless we have a storm blowing in. Last year was the first year of the Wind Fest, Steve just happen to find out about it and took the kids and they had a blast. We had been waiting for it to come around again. This year it seemed a bit more organized, had more vendors and plenty more Family Fun Activities.

One of the coolest things was on the reservoir there was this guy riding a jet ski with another guy pulling a very large kite. It was pretty cool. He would even get the tail down so that we could touch it as it went by.

Now that is what I call a snow cone. I only got 2 for all of us, normally the kids only eat half and leave half for me and Steve. Not this time. They ate the whole thing.

Have you seen these crazy trikes? The kids loved riding them. Andy was very sad when Steve told him he would not be getting one for his birthday. (the cheapest one was $750! that was for the Ellyn size.)This was the first time for us to ride a segway. It was awesome, maybe I will get one for my birthday. (we both look great in our helmets)They also had paddle boards. Steve and Andy did those. Whoa! Steve almost fell in. I was ready with the camera to capture the blog moments. But he didn't. He did give me his phone and wallet just in case.

And we can't forget the kite making.

Not too sure who is flying the kite here.
