Kite Festival & Nev's Race

These top two photos are of the Arvada Kite Festival. Last year was our first year at this festival and we had such a good time that decided to go again. We met a few friends this year and had an all new experience.  This year, it was deceivingly cold and there were a lot less kites flying in the sky.  The sun was out at first and it was warm so we claimed a spot on the grass and left to explore the festival grounds.  Unfortunately, we left our jackets at our 'site' and the clouds came out.   It became bitter cold so we were all shivering for most of our adventure.  But to make up for the weather, there was a drum circle lead by a local drum school - that added a lot of excitement and sensory enjoyment.  The remaining pictures are of Nev's annual Kids4Health Run.  Every year, Bumble Bee leads the race.  Nev has always done the Diaper Dash in the past but this year, she was in the 500 yard dash.  It was indoor at the new Citibank Arena, and luckily so because there were dangerously high winds outside.  It all worked out great.  Nev even found a 5 year old friend to run the race with.  They held hands at the start line and never let go of each other.  They both pretended to be afraid of the Bumble Bee and giggled lots together.  It was relaly precious.  As usual, the finish line has lots of run goodies for NOW and then some for LATER, which she carried proudly home in her finishing bag.
