I'm always looking for and thinking about fun things to do around here in order to give our kids as many life experiences as they can possibly have. So, after watching Mary Poppins a few months ago with Gavin and him asking us what those people were doing at the end of the movie, I began the quest to find a kite. It was a little difficult since a majority of the ones I did find were shaped funny, didn't have string attached, or were missing tails on the end of them. Eventually I found one and Brooks still had to do a little work on it to help it fly-- had to cut up an old t-shirt and attach to kite with duct tape and string, but it worked and Gavin had a successful first kite flying experience!!!
One evening Brooks came home from work early while it was still daylight outside and we were experience HORRIBLE winds... so it was a perfect time for kite flying. It only took Gavin a few tries to get his kite to take to the air and once it did... HE LOVED IT!! He really wasn't able to run around with the kite while it was in the air since the winds were so bad, he was almost falling over just standing up, but that didn't stop him from having fun and being extremely proud of himself for flying a kite. Miles really wanted to kite to come back down and was upset it wasn't in arms reach for him.
