12 hours wandering the town. That's how we spent a gloreous sunny easter weekend day in Oona. We left at nine..back at nine. Just wandered around jumping on trampolines and eating. Visited the Vanderheides first off...kids got there first taste of easter chocolates there. Followed by some egg painting and kiting assembly. Then off to the schoolhouse for the annual kite flying competition. Must a been 20 kites trying to catch some airspace. A few wrecks and a few funny entaglements. One kid lost his kite..which proceeded to fly away to "who no wheres" but just when all hope was gone of recovery the trailing handle snagged another kite line...zoomed up it and became a dual kite...worked quite well. Liam's Owl kite won price for "best bird kite" Syndey won youngest competitor for her attempts.
After the kite flying everyone just chilled for an hour two around the fire and in the park..waiting for dinner. Then a great Oona potluck ensued. Lots of people..lots of food. Ham, Tuna (fresh off the tuna boat docked in the harbour), Shrimp, Roast Beef, Many Salads, Breads, Key Lime tarts, Strawberrries,Mangos, Brie, Cupcakes and more cupcakes, Cookies, Jello, Sausages, mmmmmmm mm
We are all full and off to bed. Our kids were beat...lots of fun in the sun today no trouble falling asleep tonight.
Sounds like a great day, wish we could have been there too, we are having nice sunny days as well, off to L.Kathlyn today...
