kite day

well this is a little late in coming, but i figured i would go ahead with it. i shared the pix on our flickr page but i thought it might be nice to put it on here as well. plus, now that i have a slide account, i feel the need to make slideshows of everything!!! it is too fun.

kite day was on march 6th, and what a day for kite flying it was. sunshiny, blue skies and a wind to curl your hair (or maybe just give you dreadlocks). we started out inside where garry handed out all the supplies for each kite. then he instructed us all in the secret ways of super duper kite building. the kits were amazing. the materials used for the kites are so super strong! we decorated them and then went outside to test our flying skills. these are the easiest kites to fly that you have ever seen. in fact when we took them to the park on another day, a man came up and asked where we got them because they looked so easy to get in the air.

we had so much fun flying the kites. sadie got her kite stuck in a tree, very charlie brown style. when i went to get a ladder, garry and deanna came to the rescue. i believe garry climbed that poor little tree!! it was a really wonderful day for all of us!!!
