Then off to downtown!

There was an event throughout downtown Traverse City yesterday from 11-3 called the Celebration of the Young Mind. There were all sorts of different kid's activities around town. We headed to the "open space" (Traverse City has an area on the water downtown that is referred to as the open space. It is just that, a large grassy open area that is used for Cherry Festival, the big screen showings at the film festival and various other events) first for kite making!

The kites were a very simple design the kids could make quickly but they flew really well!

They also had bubble blowing, which is one of Alex's favorite pass times. We met lots of Alex's friends there too!
