And we celebrated Spring by going down to the Tidal Basin in Washington D.C. and saw the Cherry Blossoms and also saw the Kite Festival which kicks off the 2 week festivities for the Cherry Blossom Festival. I never miss seeing the blooming of these trees, probably one of the best aspects of living her. Too bad it is so brief. The blossoms usually only stay on for a week or two and don't bloom again until next Spring.Kaya was curious of the branches with all the flowers. She really loves nature, we often take her to our back yard where she loves pulling at the bamboo leaves.
An Indian couple took our family picture and Longben thought it would be a good idea to take a picture of them. Such a weird custom, it's not like we're ever going to see them again, let alone send them copies. but the woman immediately took Kaya out of Longben's relunctant arms and as you can see, quickly made her part of her family.
In this picture I feel like just a friend of the family, in no way related to their new bundle of joy.
The kite festival was very cool, though Kaya didn't really notice it until the end. She was a little overwhelmed by all the people there, I don't think she's ever been outside with that many people around before. She had a nice long nap after that.
