Let's Go Fly a Kite

Matthew got a kite for his birthday. He's been really excited to go fly it. When he got it he asked when he could fly it and I told him on the weekend when Daddy's home, we can fly it. Every morning this week when he woke up in the morning, he would come into my room and ask me if it was the weekend and we could fly his kite. Finally it really was the weekend and even nice weather, so we went out to fly the kite. Here's Matthew after getting the kite up in the air.

Here are Scott and Matthew walking over to the park to fly the kite.

Part way there Matthew decided the sun was too bright, so Scott let him wear his sunglasses. He looked so cool. Scott helped him get started.

Pretty soon his Elmo kite was flying...

And little by little it got higher and higher...

Matthew did pretty good at flying the kite and kept wanting to let more string out. Eventually the kite broke. It was the inflatable kind and got a hole poked in it, so we had to go home. But we did get a lot of good kite flying in before it broke.

On the way home...
A rare glimpse under the seawall...it was a pretty day.

Anna wanted to walk on the way home (instead of ride in the stroller). She did a good job keeping up. Maybe we'll get another kite sometime and have more kite adventures.
