Last weekend, Laura and Nathaniel (Tim's siblings) were here for a visit, so we took a trip to Newport because they were having a kite festival. Mercy got a kite for her birthday and enjoys when Tim flies it, so we thought it would be something fun to do. Despite the 95 degree weather and horrible traffic (never go to Newport on a weekend in the summer--too many people!), we arrived and were quite impressed by the diversity of kites. Never before had we seen such large and three-dimensional ones.
There was a huge octopus:
Mercy indulged herself in a Rhode Island classic, Del's Lemonade, and got spoiled by the attention of Aunt Lo and Uncle Nathaniel.
My favorite kite was a pair of legs. No body-just legs. Quirky.
After the kites, we went down to the cliff walk because Laura and Nathaniel had never been. Siblings shot:
Newport is so beautiful. Rhode Island is so beautiful; I can't think of a better state in which to pass the summer months.
Great pics, colorful! And mercy looks adorable!
