Happy Sunday!

Happy Sunday everyone! This is our first blog post, if you didn't notice... After creating it, we decided to change the layout. We have searched high and low for a good choice... and we'll continue our search. We even looked through all 77 pages of one site - we did find a good one, but it was all in Spanish... After much too much time we chose this flowery one for now.

We've been in Los Alamos for about 2 weeks now. We are enjoying our relaxing time away from school and homework, but with each other. Just yesterday we went to the kite festival in White Rock - good times. There were tons of fun kites to watch - little kids running around with their little kites they made at the kids' workshop (we would have, but we weren't sure they'd let us...) and other "for fun" kite flyers. There were a couple who seemed more experienced, or wanted to be... there was one lonely kite up on the "stunt kite" field, who wasn't there very long, a man with a humongous octopus kite (which never made it very far up, but it was a fun one to watch), and a man with what looked like a homemade box kite... he gave up after about 5 minutes... muttering to himself... : ) It was pretty windy. We also watched as several people untangled their kites from each other. They had some overpriced food booths, a kite vendor, and a 4-H club selling soda, etc.... Oh! and a "kite hospital" to mend kites that faced the "inevitable" (the ad said it : ) bonks and breaks. It was fun to be out in the sun and see the local festival. Sorry, we forgot the camera... But we'll be sure to post other pictures...

We're new to this... give us some time... : ) We almost had a sad ending to this blog and our computer.... Will was tickling me and the computer almost tumbled to the floor! Luckily we're all ok... : )

Monopoly update: although I had to play easy on him for a while until he won about $840 from Free Parking, I believe Will is several thousand dollars richer than I am... he owns 3 of the 4 railroads which is what's draining my funds! But I do have the only monopoly so far...
