We have a lot of windy days around our area, and a big field behind us- perfect for kites. Here we are on an early spring day, kite flying high.
It's quite funny to watch Nate run back and forth to keep the kite up.
A kid at heart, I had to get in on the action, too.
Elin does the kite for about 1 minute and then is done. She prefers the playset for now.
Everyone's had the "wind blows the kite away" experience, right? Well, we did. As Nate tried to rig the handle to a stake in the yard, the wind got the better of it. Off went the kite across the field, and off I went after it. Running as fast as I could, I couldn't catch it! Luckily a tree in the next neighborhood caught the handle, string out to it's end. After borrowing some nearby tools and a ladder (thanks to those friendly people), we managed to get it back again. Nate has now been instructed on hands-on flying only.

Nice!!
We just got some kites from the dollar store because we knew they would not last long.
We were right!!
Losing a kite is like losing a balloon. I am impressed you guys managed to get it back.
Fun stuff!!
