Spring Fun

We had a play date at the park with Chelse and Mac. We've had a nice breeze lately so we attempted kite flying. The kids were way excited because they had just gotten new kites from their Grandma for Easter. Unfortunately the kites were kind of a bust...they don't have a very good "wing span" so they would go up a few feet then spiral down. It was cool to watch, but very frustrating for the kids. Chelse was able to get the Elmo one up relatively easy so they each got a turn to fly that one.

She ran and ran hoping to get it to go up, it never did.

This was about as high as we got them.

Then they would come crashing down_

Matthew had no interest in flying kites,

he played on the playground instead.

Mac enjoyed being able to run around outside.

***Spring has been long awaited for all of us!

Alyssa praising Makayla for getting her kite that high!

Every once in a while we had to wait for a

good gust of wind to get the kites up

We did successfully get a kite stuck in a tree lol

Alyssa didn't find it as humorous as I did.

I've never actually had a kite get stuck in a tree

before, but I've heard of it happening :)

After the kids had enough with the kites we got the bubbles out. The little ones would have chased them all day, but Makayla got tired of blowing them after a while.
