Let's go fly a kite

Yesterday we got a fun little kite as a party favor from a birthday party we went to. So since we are getting gale force winds in these parts, we took the kite out. Annabel loved the "pretty kite!"


The kite is that tiny yellow dot above the house. It got pretty high!


Chris attempts some tricks with the kite. Shortly after I took this one, it nose-dived into the backyard.

I took a turn with the kite too, and it was pretty fun! Chris took a couple pics on his phone, but I wasn't pleased with how I look in them. So as the author of this blog, I reserve the right to withhold less-than-flattering pictures of myself. Ha!

After a bit, the wind got the better of us, and the kite took a header into one of our trees. We were too busy trying to extract the kite to remember to take pictures, so here's one of the aftermath:


That's the poor kite's tail still in the tree. I guess we'll try to get it out... someday...

Cheers,
Cathy
