The whole family went to Meadowbrook Park this morning. In tow were two recently purchased kites. We are on our, oh, about 9th kite in the past year. Previous ones were bought more on style than flight ability. We've had a shark, dragon, jet, a small fabric kite, another jet, another shark, and another fabric kite. All of them had little air time. They'd go up and then would turn and pancake into the ground. No amount of tail trimming made a difference.
Today we successfully launched a SpiderMan kite. Sadly our other kite, Buzz Lightyear performed just as Woody said, "You can't fly." Another ground slammer. Spidey is a traditional "bat" kite and it flew this morning like a champ.
We were just south of the Prairie Play area in the big grassy field. The O was excited, but after a few minutes of kite flying he was ready for the playground. Sugarpop went with The O and the Happy Elf and I was ready to reel in the kite when she said, "Keep flying it, be 10 again!"
So for the first time in over 30 years I was 10 again.

I love how you play with our children and how you took the moment enjoy the wind as a child does. Love, W
It always seems to be windier at Meadowbrook than anywhere else in town.
We have a new kite (our aunt always gives them out at Easter) and are itching to go fly it.
But usually after about 5 minutes, my daughter wants to go back to the playground.
Post, post, post, post, post. You are missed.
