We arrived at the crack of dawn to see the balloons take off. Unfortunately, the trade winds were not cooperating and it was decided that it was too dangerous to fly.Balloons were still filled with air and heated so we could all gather around and see what they looked like. We watched for an hour or so, had coffee and a donut or two, and then headed off for a more formal breakfast. Kira and Bew slept through the whole thing, but Rich Strauss did join us for breakfast before taking his motorcycle back to Southern California.
We returned later in the afternoon with Kira and Bew to wander the booths and activities. Of course we had to buy a kite too. I think my kite flying skills were a little rusty. After an hour or so of attempting, we finally caught on and got the kite to fly. Over the course of the next hour, we broke the string once and watched it float away. We did manage to retrieve it. It also got stuck in a tree, wrapped around a large light post, and Conner got jumped on by a friendly dog while holding on tight. Conner took charge all afternoon and did a great job keeping it aloft.
