Let's Go Fly a Kite...

...Got Mary Poppins songs in your head now? LOL! One of our favorite pastimes is to fly kites. I guess it started when we lived in Maryland and would watch all the kite flyers on the beach. I always thought it would be fun to have lots of kites so we tend to buy them everytime we see a fun new one! I think we are up to 10-12 kites already. Some...have not been as fun as they looked and have gone away...but others are awesome! The kids really like the box kite in the pictures below--it rises really easy and goes high without a lot of wind!

Steven took the girls up to the soccer field to fly kites this weekend while I was still sick. Stevie was too absorbed in his new gameboy game to care *smile* so he stayed home with me. Missy and Kimmy had a blast flying kites with their dad!

I used to fly kits all the time with my dad. We had dozens of stunt kites....my favorite was a stackable black and pink one with a 9 foot wingspan.

I tried to fly a kite with Connor a few years ago....and I can't do it! I've tested my theory and I can only fly a kite when I'm with my dad!
