Spelling words for week of July 27, 2009

Hi Everybody,

Hope you enjoyed another beautiful weekend in the Bay Area.  My husband and  I

went to the Kite Festival at the Berkeley Marina.  There were so many kites of all

sizes and shapes, some extremely large and colorful.  Luckily, there was enough wind to keep the kites going.  Also, this event attracts families from all different

backgrounds and countries.  It was a real multicultural event.
