Kites and Toothbrushes

Last weekend, Papa Tigger, Tigger, Major and I headed to the National Mall for the Smithsonian Kite Festival. The weather was gorgeous, though a bit chilly. We got there just before noon, so had to start with a little lunch. Here are the boys chillin' and having their lunch:


Once we were all fed, Papa Tigger and Tigger started working on the kite. I was trying to control Major (so excited with all the people, sights and smells!) and take pictures.


Such a helper!

It's up!


Trying again...



Oops, this isn't right



Up again! But Tigger's down!


My favorite picture (I wish I'd gotten closer) - what Tigger did each time the kite got up. He so wanted to grab it!


After expending all that energy to fly kites, it was time to head home and nap. Here the boys are heading back to the car, with Tigger in a great spot for a good view.

And I'll finish off this post with another first (hey, it was his first kite experience). We've finally had to retire Tigger's first toothbrush. It was so cute - we found one with a baby Tigger on it! And just for the record, Tigger LOVES to brush his teeth. He more sucks on the toothbrush rather than uses it to brush his teeth, but we feel like we're teaching good hygiene now!
