OOOOhhhhh, oh--let's go fly a kite!

Costco had kites for sale a week ago. Like every thing else at Costco, these kites came in warehouse-super-store sizes at warehouse-super-store prices so, I bought one. Spring in California this year has been cold, wet and windy, it wasn't long before we had a great day to go kite flying.


The kids and I walked down to the nearest wide open field and tried to get the kite in the air. The stinker of it all was while up on the little hill at our house the wind was blowing fiercely--down in the little valley where the field was the air was still and quiet.

Result: me and the kids running all over the field yelling: "Fly! Fly!" at the kite.



We did manage to get it up in the air a few times. I think we'll have better success at the beach this summer.
