Go Fly A Kite!

This past weekend we took the kids to the beach to fly a kite! The weather was super nice with a slight breeze...I bundled everyone up because the beach it typically cooler but we were totally over dressed, it was really warm out.

There is a little story behind this kite...we got it about 5 years ago while walking through Chinatown. It was a total impulse buy with our friends Daryl and Mindy (they got one too). We had in our car for a few years, never flown. We moved it to the other car one day because we were going to fly it but never made it. Then it got moved to our storage a while back when Young stated, "we'll never fly the kite, why did we even buy it?" We tried liftoff about 6mo ago but that day was too windy to fly anything. Well my friends, our 5 year old purchase finally got used last Sunday!

Young did a great job of getting it up in the air and let each of the kids have a turn at the reigns.

Because it was slightly windy, Young could really control the height of the flying. He kept swooping it down toward the kids and Cameron kept trying to catch it.

Like most everything, eventually the kids list interest and only wanted to play in the sand, but Young didn't. He stayed out there flying our kite for a while. Just goes to show you, never give up on a project!!
