Kite Hill

Today was Genna's preschool's last field trip of the school year. Knowing that I'll miss her Ladybug school as well as wanting to have a little Seattle fun with my 4-year-old, I decided to chaperone. The first little preschooler showed up to school at 9:15 wearing a hat. Yes. A hat. Not a baseball cap to keep the sun out of his eyes, but a warm knitted hat. We are five days away from June and we're still wearing hats. One little girl was even wearing mittens, and one of the dads was wearing a hat and scarf. Okay. Enough said about the weather.

Despite the chilly wind, the field trip to "Kite Hill" was fabulous. We actually had some beautiful sun and a good wind. Kite Hill is just off the shore of Lake Washington and just about a 10-minute drive from our house. The wind was a little strong for some of the homemade kites, breaking a few as they were thrust down to the ground from the wind, but there were several that survived and the kids had a blast. Jonah even had a great time, thanks to the soccer ball and the frisbees that were brought along.

Fly, kites, fly!!!
(note the hats)

Beautiful day for kites by Lake Washington

I have so many pictures of Jonah in his raincoat eating a snack. This is his official Seattle pose.

Waaaaay too sunny for the locals

Hold on to the string, Genna!
