Let's Go Fly a Kite!

The day after we got home from New York, (May 3rd, our 7th year anniversary!) the weather was pretty good for flying a kite! Jaden was pretty excited to finally use his Easter gift! ($1 from Walmart)



Of course after Jaden flew it for a while, Kyler wanted a turn. Being the sweet brother Jaden is, he let him have a turn. But Kyler wasn't completely aware of how the whole kite flying business worked. He let go and off Jaden's kite flew. I thought it was gone for good as the string went quickly over the fence. I was stunned, when I saw what happened next.


Our neighbors house had caught it! I was laughing so hard when I called Christian to tell him about it. The kite stayed there, flying in the wind for about 15 minutes before Christian even got home. Maybe we found a new way to let people know where we live!... Luckily we have great neighbors and they let Christian get up on their roof to retrieve the kite! I guess the dollar kite will get another shot at glory sometime! Although it's not going to ever be able to go to the same height it first achieved!

Just shows you can get a lot of fun for a $1. And I'm always amazed when I see that Jaden still has his sunglasses. I expected them to be lost or broken long ago....what a guy!
