Windy Day

We had a nice afternoon together as a family. Joshua recently discovered a kite I had stashed away for the past year intending to fly it on a windy day. Well, the opportunity presented itself today. As he was napping I put it together all the while thinking how excited he would be. I was right. When I told him we were going to fly the Mickey kite, he couldn't stop talking and smiling.

We drove to our neighborhood park where there was plenty of room to run around in the open, clear of trees. I asked Josue if he had flown a kite before, and he shook his head no. I did as a child, but really had no idea how to do it. Since he was holding Tabitha, I gave it a go. Thankfully Josue decided to take over, and the boys had so much fun together.

Here he is teaching Joshua what to do.

Josue would hold the line to fly the kite while Joshua held the string.

Tabitha got excited once she saw the kite flying. However, she quickly returned back to collecting rocks and acorns.

I love this picture of father and son. You also get a good view of the kite.

Daddy and his kiddos.

And the grand finale...Joshua flew the kite all by himself!

In his prayer tonight, Joshua thanked God for the time flying the kite, and then he said to me that he wanted to fly again. Enough said...he had fun!
