high flyin' kite!

Tuesday we had a perfect kite flyin' breeze. we busted out the kites the Easter bunny brought.

the wind was strong enough to get the kite up with limited effort and fly it in the perfect direction that we could sit on the front porch, and just chill,

(as opposed to hanging out in the street, burning my feet and having Pierce make me a nervous wreck running in the road)

while Pierce and Hope flew the kite to their hearts content. (i took a load of pictures )

Mostly Pierce flew it ( he had a hard time sharing)

he had the best time ever!

he let the wind drag him around, he ran back and forth, he sat and flew the kite,

eventually he laid down to watch it, he was so relaxed, i thought he might fall asleep.

we were getting sleepy watching it, the clouds were so bright and squinting and closing our eyes over and over at it just made us sleepy.

the warmth ,and after lunch feeling probably contributed too.






Pierce thought it was extra cool when an airplane flew by our kite.

i marked the offending trees that took down this kite (later after school) AND Liberty's kite.
both had to be thrown away, they lost the center stick. and broke the string. stinking palm trees!


While Pierce was kite flying, Hope brought out treasures in Easter eggs for us, she brought my mom a scrap of ribbon , it frayed and made a delightful fake eyelash. FAAANNNCCCYY!

I love to fly kites, we get great kite flyin' weather in our neck of the woods. I can't believe how high you had those right in the neighborhood! Looks like tons of fun!

Beautiful eyelash!

WOW your kite got HIGH! love those pics & the arrows!

my neighbors were kite flying during the wind too. all of our kites are broken. not from flying, but from kids playing, dragging & stepping on them IN THE HOUSE!
