Flying Kites

When Handy Man was a kid, every Easter he and his sister would receive a new kite in their baskets. Our Brown Eyed Girl got her first kite this year. It's been two weeks since Easter, long overdue for flying a kite. Saturday evening, Handy Man assembled the kite and took our Brown Eyed Girl outside. She was so excited to see the kite fly.

We live on a hill. Our little house on the prairie, where the wind blows...and blows...and blows. Every day the wind blows. Sometimes it blows so hard that you can't help but cringe waiting for the roof to get ripped off. At least once a month I have to wrangle patio furniture and our Brown Eyed Girls cozy coupe. We hold inside bar-b-ques. It's a windy view out there on the prairie.

So wouldn't you know of all the days to want to fly a kite, there was no wind.

While I was feeding horses last night, Handy Man decided to give it another go. We had just enough wind where the breeze was enjoyable. Perfect for flying a kite.

Our Brown Eyed girl was elated.

She did so good holding onto the string all by her self!

 

Yep.

She is only wearing underwear and her dancing shoes.


Perfect attire for flying kites if you ask me. 

We live in the country...

First moments like this only happen once.

Sometimes you have to work with what the moment gives you. 

My happy family, flying a kite, enjoying this beautiful April day. 

This mom was all smiles. 

Even Boji took a little break from digging out behind the barn to enjoy the nice weather with us.

My handsome old man.

You can really see the gray around his muzzle when you are outside.

What an awesome day!
