Let's Go Fly a Kite

School starts on Tuesday, so we're enjoying our last few days of summer before we get back into the fall routine. Today's enjoyment came in the form of something I've been wanting to do for awhile now - kite flying!

After Dora this morning (because we can't do anything until we've watched Dora) the girls and I walked over to Eisner Park to fly kites on the baseball field. Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately), not all of the pictures I took saved to my memory card, so you can't see Nora's initial reaction to the kite. But Abby was pretty excited to try flying.

First, you have to take off running.



If you get a lucky gust of wind, the kite might really take off!



Keep running, but be sure to watch the kite. Seeing it fly is the fun part!



All the running might tire you out, so you can sit down to take a break. Then your sister might decide it looks fun and she wants to try.



That kite string can be tricky!



After a long morning of kite flying, you're definitely ready for a snack at the park.
