Go Fly a Kite

Sunday was an absolutely beautiful day, but a little on the windy side. Wasn't gonna slow our family down we decided to use the wind to our advantage. Mel had the great idea of breaking out the kites. That didn't mean the little plastic wing shaped kites with only one cross piece, oh no. In this family we don't do anything small, we have three fairly complex nylon and wooden dowel kites. Two airplanes and one menacing pirate ship. Once all three were mostly assembled, we had left-over pieces, we took to the pasture and had a fun few hours of flying and attempting to fly kites. At one point I made the observation to Melissa that the kids were sitting in the yard with Grandma, and the adults were out flying the kites. Our family also likes to channel their inner-child on occasion. All that to say it was a great Sunday afternoon!
