Go Fly A Kite!

A few nights ago we were sitting outside, enjoying a relatively cool evening. The princess noticed a bit of wind and decided to fly her kite. Not just any kite, but the best kind of kite: the $1.00 at Walmart kind of kite!


Lift off. Apparently it works best if you have one hand on your hip to maintain some semblance of "cool" while flying.



Sorry for the angle. I was trying to get her AND the kite in while looking into the sun. Not working out so well on my end.

"Hey! Hey guys! Can I play too?

There was only one incident of the kite landing in our tree. At least it was our tree and not one of the neighbors' trees! The problem is that a couple of years ago that would have been no big deal, when the tree was skinny and 5 feet high. But now it's much fuller and probably hitting the 7 or 8 foot mark. So there was a little surgery that had to be done to remove the kite from the tree, and we think the tree will recover! These photos were taken after that little problem so, as you can see, it didn't affect the kite in the least.
