Let's Go Fly a Kite!



After dinner tonight we decided it would be fun to take advantage of some of the crazy wind we have had today & go fly some kites at the park for FHE. The wind went in stages of being really strong, to really still, and then minutes later, picking up again. It made for some interesting kite patterns. It was fun for everyone to send the kites soaring high in the air. Some of the kites were flying so high, I couldn't get a picture of the kid and the kite together. Good times!

TREVOR AND HAYLEY RUNNING WITH THEIR KITES...GREAT EXERCISE!

JAKE FLYING HIS KITE...HE MISSED THE TREES BUT DID GET THE LINE TANGLED ON THE BASEBALL BACKSTOP. BUT THE WIND PICKED UP AND WE GOT IT OFF WITH NO PROBLEMS!
