Anything but FLY

Let's go (insert action word of choice...run with, reassemble, get tangled in, rip, burn) a kite...

 Early in the summer, the kids received kites as gifts from their Uncle Derek and Aunt Maggie.  We had been waiting for the perfect windy day to fly them and finally attempted our kite flying session today. 

 The two and four year old probably wouldn't know that the attempt was very unsuccessful.   They had a blast running back and forth in our backyard "flying" their kite. 

 

 For some reason, the whole experience had me laughing harder than ever.  Whether it was Jon running across the yard as he attempted different flying methods, the kids repeatedly getting tangled in the string, or Natalie exclaiming, "OOPSIE DAISY!" with each nose dive of the kite,  it had me doubled over in laughter at times.  Sooo...thanks Derek and Maggie for a fun afternoon activity.  Next time we hope that the kites also come with a tutorial session.  :)
