Let's go fly a kite...





Today was just beautiful. It was 68 degrees, sunny and windy. Michael left us for the day and headed to Huntsville for a friend's birthday outing. He got to go to the Space Center. He came home this evening completely exhausted.

We spend a majority of the afternoon in the front yard with kites. Emily informed us that she had never flown a kite. I have a hard time believing that. I'm thinking that she has never successfully flown a kite. At least, that's what I'm going to tell myself. How horrible is it that my child has never flown a kite!

Today she flew a kite for probably 2 hours. It was a great day for it. She had a unicorn kite - Charlie. Some of you will get that. Or maybe it was a Pegasus with a horn. Someone asked if it was a goose?! Anyway, Kevin decided to get out the beach kite, too. It's a red tri-plane like the Red Baron. After several attempts he finally got it to stay up. Pepper wasn't sure what to think of them. She really did not like them when they landed and stayed as far away as possible. She is also completely exhausted tonight.

Gram and Gramps are here. They had a trip to Bowling Green for a conference and headed down here afterwards. Gramps is...exhausted - ha! So we have a house full of exhausted people and 1 tired animal. It was a GREAT day! And I'm not being sarcastic. Really.
