What a great day to fly a kite, 60 degrees, sun and wind....and let me tell you, there was wind. When we went on our cruise, we brought Cooper back a CHEAP. little Spider man kite. They were everywhere in Mexico, and they knew how to fly them (they did probably get 12 hours a day of practice), they made it look so simple. But today we discovered that they were not that simple. The "Kite Master" Lou Lou, was the only one to get hers in the air. Good job Lou, Lou! Keysha and Carsen came pretty close, and Coop and I got ours in knots before it even left the ground. I did realize today, it takes skills to fly a kite...at least one from Mexico that is sold on the streets.
Cooper and Spiderman
Our darling audience.
Bode doing a great job flying the Dora kite. The only problem is he would run forward instead of backwards. It soon became a great workout for me.
Here I am trying to figure out how to untangle this hideous kite.
This "Spider" isn't going anywhere.
Somehow Bode would get tangled in the kite string. He thought it was pretty hilarious. I think he may have started to do it on purpose.
Finishing the adventure off with a quick play on the playground. By this time the wind was a brewing, Peiton was a screaming and Bode was a runnin' on the loose. (The leash attached to him only lasts for so long....yes it is a leash, there is no way I can handle him and Peiton at the same time. Bode is constantly on the go. Thanks to Lou Lou he was able to ride home in her stroller so I didn't have to chase him home, or to where ever his little legs will take him.)
