Kite Flying at it's best! 3-20-09

This week, well Friday night to be exact we gathered the fam together and went to the park. It had been a really nice day but by the time we got there it was pretty windy. But then it hit me! We have kites at the house and this is perfect kit flying weather! I finally, after much begging, convinced Duck to run home (like a mile away) and get the kites. NOw the embarrasing part of this story is that these kites have been sitting around for years. They were both gifts from Grandma Duck on Easter. One I think was three years ago, and the second was 2 years ago. We have never used them. Yup, my kids have NEVER flewn a kite! In Alaska there were just too many trees, but also the chances of us being at the park with the right weather and having the kites is just too rare, well it's never happened before. So I definitely wanted to take advantage of this moment and fly kites!!

Maliyah was a pro (but her kite had a little something to do with it). I think her kite came down twice (once was with Duck) and she learned really quick how to tug on the string if it started to come down a little.

Kyson on the other hand wasn't so lucky. The second Duck got his kite up in the air it already broke. WE fixed it to a useable state, but we just couldn't keep it up. But with Kyson running fast enough, it was able to fly for about 30 seconds at a time. Just enough to keep kyson enthused and excited about what he was doing!

All in all though it was a really fun night at the park and a great family outing. We really needed it!

Let's go fly a kite, up to the highest height, and send it soaring. Up in the atmosphere, up where the air is clear. Oh, let's go fly a kite!

Looks like a great time!
