Let's go fly a kite............

The kids got kites for Easter so for F.H.E. one night we went to fly them. When I had ran my errands that day it was perfect kite flying weather so when Rob got home from work I suggested the kite flying. As I made dinner that evening looking out the window by the sink it looked like it would still be windy enough but by the time we got to the grassy area it wasn't really that windy. Did that stop us......NO!!So away we all went in our different directions trying really hard!! Finally we had to stop cause it was dark and this last crash resulted in this........So it then turned into wrestling and dog piling in the grass.
So I came to a conclusion that night I realized I have NEVER flown a kite in all my entire life! So as I was running...I am sure cars were stopping to point & laugh..and trying my hardest to help different kids get their kites in the air the kite just kept dragging along behind me. Finally Rob speaks up and is "What are you doing" I told him "I was trying to fly a kite...duh!!" He finally informed me how to properly do it and had gotten a few of the kites up at different times for a lil bit. By the end of the evening I was laughing so hard I was crying as Rob was retelling how he was watching my kite flying skills and just shaking his head in ....amusement/amazment I am sure!! Also each of the kids learned real quick to go to Dad for help on this adventure......I think we will have to try that again in the fall.
