Let's Go Fly a Kite...

Grandma Stock gave the kids a kite and Slade has been bugging us to go fly it, so we decided to give it a try yesterday afternoon because there was a nice breeze. We headed over to the greenbelt by our house and Skylar tried teaching Slade how to fly the kite. After a few tries, Slade gave up and handed the kite back to Skylar. Skylar was determined to make the thing fly, so he would run and the kite would take to the air, but it would then just go in circles and crash to the ground. He had it going good at one point but it wasn't windy enough to keep it up for very long but he ran around anyway and, don't ask me how, but it ended up hitting me in the eye!! I was blind with tears for a while and at that point Skylar decided he was done trying to get the thing to fly. By this time, Slade had noticed the park not too far away and wanted to go play there instead. It ended up being really fun afternoon regardless the eye injury.
