Let's go fly a kite...

I love watching my husband play with his daughters. They absolutely adore him and it's easy to see why; he is a fun dad. Yesterday, the weather was spectacular, and so Daddy decided it was the perfect time to introduce the girls to a childhood rite: kite flying. He came with a $4.00 plastic Woody & Buzz Lightyear kite and suggested we go fly it for family home evening. There was the perfect amount of wind blowing, the sky was clear and the temperature was around 70. I sat in the car and fed baby while Daddy sent that kite soaring in the sky. The girls danced and squealed with delight. About 5 minutes into the kite's maiden voyage, the girls begged for a turn to hold it. Daddy gave the string handle to Lady and said "Hold on tight, don't let go." You, of course, know where this story is going... she got so excited while she was holding it, she forgot about NOT letting go. The kite soared up high until its handle got caught in a tree. The girls sat and admired it for a while and then we headed to the park to play on the swings. Next time we'll tie the kite to their wrists.
As Buzz would say "To infinity and beyond.."
Baby G and I watching the girls and Daddy play in the park. Love that sling!
