Go Fly a Kite!

We bought a kite when we were at the toy store Memorial Weekend and Adam has been itching to try it out. One night after dinner we headed over to the football field and give it a rip.

Gerrit loved running after the kite. (I totally needed my other lens tonight - bummer about just taking the camera - don't always have the right parts with you then!) Unfortunately the wind wasn't the greatest for flying a kite. Of all the nights this spring, we've had very few calm nights (and when we did, Adam was usually on his bike). Lucky for us, he was late coming home so no bike ride this night!

We went on Sat. night again but went down to the park instead and had a very successful kite flying experience. Gerrit even held the kite string (and didn't let go!).

Sunday after church in the park, Gerrit recognized where we were and wanted to fly the kite. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) we didn't have the kite with us. I'm sure we'll have plenty more kite flying days this summer.
