A windy weekend....

The winds were wild in Sydney over the weekend. 

So when we heard about the Festival of the Winds at Bondi on Sunday, we thought it was the perfect place to see some kites in action and make the most of the weather. 

We arrived at the beach and found a parking spot fairly easily which is a rarity in Bondi on the weekend and walked down to the beach. It was a little crowded but not unbearable. 

We loved seeing the big kites against the blue sky but our favourite part was the people that had brought their own kites down to fly. It was so much fun watching parents teach their kids how to launch the kites in the wind, strings getting tangled, kites falling onto people. Lots of laughs! Everyone was having such a great time. Sometimes it really is the simple things.

We bought the boys their own "world's smallest kites" from a stall at the beach so they can fly them in our backyard. We'll make the most of this windy weather whilst it's here.

I've popped up some photos from our day below -
