I have been keeping kites in the van for a while now, waiting for such a perfect day as this!
This morning I had to go to do my Wednesday papers (only ONE Wed left--Woo-hoo!!!) and after we were done I decided to grab a quick lunch at Wendy's (mostly b/c I wanted a Frosty). Afterwards, we went to our favorite field/grassy area over by the airport.
First we played a rousing game of Simon Says. Then we went across the street to see a cotton field up close (first time for kids). We saw several airplanes take off and land. We also LOVE to make the semi-trucks and dump trucks that pass by blow their loud airhorns!!! The kids clap and squeal every time we get one to honk!

We also got out the kites--last time I tried kites it was a Disaster!! Jordan freaked out and started crying b/c the higher up it got, she thought it was flying away b/c she couldn't see the string! She didn't stop crying until the kite was safely on the ground again! This time, though, she did so much better! I got the kites flying and they both held their own! Lawson wanted his shorter, and his even crashed a couple times and he figured out how to get it back up in the air all by himself! It was a fun way to end the morning!

Good job! I was thinking about kites just the other day...we don't have any, but definately need to get some. This weather is great to play outside!
Jamey--If you are gonna get some, look for end-of-season sales! Mine WERE $3, but on clearance for $.99 at Kroger (several weeks ago)!!
I love the pictures of them flying their kites. They look so small compared to that big field and big sky! What a fun idea!
Awe! They look so cute in the pictures. I am impressed that Lawson handled his so well. He is growing up so fast!
