Let's Go Fly A Kite!

So we went outside to play last week and I thought to myself, "Let's go fly a kite". I asked the boys if they wanted to and they were excited, so we got out the kite. We tried flying it earlier in the summer with no success. This time started out pretty good while flying the kite low, but as you can see by Aiden's ring, we were doomed from the beginning. That is only a three leaf clover so luck was not on our side.

By the look on Connor's face, it appears that he had something up his sleeve. Most likely, he is just being a boy. When it comes down to it, it was obviously my fault that the kite landed where it did. The wind got stronger and I was able to let it fly high after the kids had played with it for an hour or so. It was flying perfectly and then, all of the sudden the tension went out of the string. So, where did that kite end up....
Way up high in the oak tree. I tried forever to get that thing to come down and then all of the sudden as I had predicted, the string broke. Luckily the boys took it well, especially Aiden, whose kite it was. It makes a good tree ornament. Aiden later tried to get it down by flying his cousin's Dora the Explorer kite up to save Optimus Prime. Unfortunately we had to put an end to that one to prevent having two stuck kites. It was a fun day in the end and we will have to get another kite which we will likely fly somewhere else, like Valley Forge Park. Best of luck to all of you kite fliers out there. I hope you get to take yours back home with you.
