A Wonderfully Windy Day

Instead of merely waiting for the perfect summer weather to arrive, I have been making an effort to enjoy any type of weather that comes our way. Since we had been having lots of "wind storms" as Layla puts it, I bought a kite. Of course the wind didn't return for weeks after buying the kite but yesterday it finally did.
The boys stayed home and Layla and I went kite flying, a first for both of us. The kite only cost $3 and was made of cheap plastic. That, and the fact that the dog had jumped on it in the van while trying to protect us from an elderly man walking by and we had a beautiful princess kite with a few rips and tears. It worked nonetheless.
After flying the kite we went to the park and played. I guess they must have had rain on the other side of town which I discovered while going down the slide. Despite a wet bottom, Layla and I had fun spending the afternoon playing at a different park than usual and there are no injuries to report.

  1. You're up early Mary. Great pictures. Kite flying is fun. You'll have to get Layla some sunglasses thata fit her though.

  2. She has a few pairs of her own but I guess they are just not as cool as mine. She's always been that way though, remember in NS she would never wear her cool pink ones and wore mine the whole time there!
