I was talking to a friend this windy afternoon telling her how I would love to fly a kite some day & that to my knowledge I had never done so when she then lovingly said "how sad." And she was right, it was sad that I don't have a memory of flying a kite. Now don't get me wrong this little girl was not in need or want of ANYTHING (except for maybe the memory of kite flying:) So that same day I asked Justin if we could take the kids to fly a kite, but where do you buy one? I don't know never bought one before, I guess you can get them just about anywhere and they aren't very expensive (for all those that are kite dummies like me). We headed to Walmart and picked up the kites a Barbie one for Brin and a Batman one for Owen and off we were. To be completely honest I was a little nervous, would this life long desire turn out to be a bust & is it much harder than it looks? As we got to the park I could barely wait like an impatient child. Daddy put Brins together first and I resisted taking it from her, she did great. As soon as the kite fell I was right there to try myself, please dont look at me differently when I say it was AMAZING I absolutely loved it. Who knew that a piece of plastic , attached to a string. soaring in the sky could bring so much joy. We stayed there for a little more than an hour before heading home to get cleaned up for dinner. WHEN CAN WE DO IT AGAIN!!!!

How fun!! I love the picture of Owen playing with the grass with Justin and Brin in the background.
I can't wait for warm weather up here. I NEED to get outside!
I'm so glad you did it! Now I need to get a kite for Madi.
