Let's Go Fly a Kite....

Aunt Rebecca is so lucky because she is close enough to walk to the town park! We love to go here & let the kids ride bikes, play a while, & sometimes have a picnic. Yesterday, we decided spur of the moment to have a picnic lunch at the park & let the kids fly kites since it was such a nice day... And they had a blast. Jackson was unsure at first about flying one, only wanting to chase it, but then i figured out why; He hates holding balloons outside because he has lost so many by accidentally letting go. Once i convinced him that if he let go of the kite, it would just fall down, he was all game! Eli didn't fly one of course, but he was as tickled as he could be to chase all the "tails" of the kites & run with the kids as if he were flying one. After we finished with the kites, we let the kids ride bikes, etc around the loop while we walked & poor Eli was so tired, that he just pulled his lawnmower behind him rather than actually making the effort to push it. When we got home, he ended up sleeping for 3 hours!

Buzz Lightyear really IS flying!
Eli got so tickled by all this kite flying!

too tired to push the mower, he had to drag it....

Pit stop for a potty break...we made our own little traffic jam...
