A few days ago, we celebrated our friend Liam's 3rd birthday. One of his birthday happies was a Thomas the Tank Engine kite. Owen was so intruiged by the kite, and we made a deal: if he was a good boy at preschool and listened to his teachers, he could get a kite too. The next day he came home with a smiley face on his daily sheet, so Richie and Owen took a trip to Target to pick out a kite. It came as no surprise that he passed up Elmo, Thomas, and Dora for a Spiderman kite! When we woke up this morning to another day of blue skies, crisp wind, and mid-60 degree temperatures, I knew this was the perfect day for testing out our new toy...
Holly and Dylan met us at Litton Park for a really fun morning of kite flying, running, playing in the sand, and climbing all over the jungle gym. It took a little practice, but both of the boys did a great job with the kite. We did have one close call with some power lines and a tree, but in the end, everything worked out just fine. In a couple of days, the temperatures will drop back down to where they should be in February, but I think we all appreciated a little break from the cold! And I think it is safe to assume that these 2 little boys will be napping gooood this afternoon!
