Addy is helping James get his two handled kite up. We had a great time flying the kites. It was windy and there was a bit of chill in the air, but it was great to be with my family!
We went to a different park to fly kites. The original park was having a Renaissance Festival. The park we went to today was right next to our airport. We could see the airliners taking off and other small planes landing. I, the one who worries a lot, had vision of planes crashing due to the kites.
This is what you do when your kids let go of the handle! This happened a total of three times. The last time it was Caleb who let go. The wind took off with his kite and James, Caleb and Addy had to go and find it. I was left to reel in the kite Addy had been using. I was still reeling it in when they came back with Caleb's kite! Man were my arms tired!
From top to bottom.. Caleb's kite, Addy's kite and Kaity's kite. Caleb and Kaity received a kite for Easter. We have been waiting for a nice day to go and fly them. Addy's kite is one that we have had for years. It is the best kite we have. It doesn't like to be reeled in!
