Kites

Monday night Emily has dance class, so Casey and I usually sit and wait in the car because it is in a nearby town and not worth it to drive home only to turn around and drive back to get her. Anyway, Carter, most of the time, wants to go with Dad. This time he wanted to come with me. We brought a kite and headed out to the park.

It was so very windy at home before we left. By the time we got the kite put together and at a park where they weren't having flag football practice, it had died down considerably. In fact, the only thing keeping the kite in the air was our running!!!

We had a nice time together trying to make it work though.

When Emily got out of dance class, she wanted to try too so we headed home and stopped at a park there. This next picture is random. It was taken so that I have a picture of Casey in his "harness" seat belt. And he was looking so cute.
Here's a fun one of Carter. He is actually sitting on top of my van... What I won't do for a good picture!
Emily is blurry, but I thought it was a fun picture anyway.
Finally, Al came and found us at the park and he figured out that I had the kite hooked up wrong, go figure, and he actually got it up in the air. Wind, where are you when we need you??

Monday nights are usually pretty hectic, rushing back from dance and making something to eat and getting ready for bed, etc.
This Monday we forgot about all of that stuff and just enjoyed each other and being outside.
