We’ve checked a few small things off our summer to-do list so far. Hit up the New Berlin farmers market, went to one of Peter’s softball games, bought tickets for SummerStage, booked a massage (for my birthday tomorrow afternoon!). A few other things are plotted out.

Fly kites at the lakefront was on the list, and the other weekend we did the next best thing: watched other people fly kites at the Family Kite Festival.

It was a gorgeous morning to be at Lake Michigan, in part because there wasn’t much wind. Probably not exactly what the kite festival organizers were hoping for.

But we were able to enjoy the sun and water.

And a gigantic bubble machine!

Corban took hold of my DSLR camera (with the strap around his neck) and shot some photos.

I took some photos myself as we sauntered around.

And by late morning, the wind started to pick up a bit, and the sky began to fill with kites.

We left just as the crowds and wind were picking up, but it was still a perfect Milwaukee spring morning.
