A perfect day to fly a kite???

It has been so windy here for the past two days, so when I was at Longs the other day I saw a really pretty (and cheap) fish kite. I bought the kite and then picked up John from school. He was so excited to finish his homework and then go to the park by our house to fly this totally awesome, totally cheap kite. On our way there, I was bragging that I had some special kite tricks up my sleeve and I would teach him all of my awesome moves. So we get to the park and there is a little boy and his grandmother there flying their kites. So naturally I think, how hard can this be, right??? It turns out that we looked so pathetic running with our kite that would not get up into the air, that the little boy's grandmother sent the kid over to give us some pointers. Still didn't work. He came over a second time and scolded me for not following his instructions. HaHa, how sad! We ended up leaving after giving it our best shot with our heads hanging. Next time I will by a more expensive kite!!



John's new trick he learned- "look mom, I have no arms". He thought this was so funny!
