2. Have a picnic, with kite flying.

Picnic, yes. Kite flying, no. Which is surprising because we live in Livermore, which could be mistaken for a wind tunnel more often than not. But we managed to choose the one windless day of the summer to try out our new kite.

I think I should get a couple of Mama-didn't-go-to-Cal-Poly-for-nothing points for putting together the Darth Vader's Tie Fighter kite, though. This thing is so complicated, I might as well have built Darth Vader's actual Tie Fighter. So.... one point for putting the kite together, and one for being able to tell Darth Vader's Tie Fighter apart from your every-day, run-of-the-mill Tie Fighter.
