Let's Go Fly A Kite!

In Zoey's big basket of family fun that she won, there was a kite. We have pretty windy conditions in our backyard most afternoons, so we tested it out. These pics are just fun and capturing the moments with the kids.

It's hard to see... but their smiles are so big. They loved running around the yard, under the kite!

Max actually has kite day at school this week, so this was a good practice run! It was good, but we actually ended up buying a super inexpensive ($2.99) Spongebob kite at Kroger that is even easier for the kids to fly!

Max let go of it once and Ross took off after it! It was like a comedy show... We all were yelling and running. Up over the house it went! The wind dies down significantly in the front of the house so it came down enough for it handle to get stuck in a tree and we got it down, safe and sound!

These pictures were taken on two different days. One was cloudy and a little rainy, the other sunny.

And, guess who else liked flying the kite? So much so, that he even went out alone without the kids? This is my favorite picture... Check Ross out in the background...
