This afternoon we took our new kite for a spin out at Lamar Park. Our kite is a 54″ delta, which is supposed to be easy to launch without a lot of wind. We got it up on our second try, which was better than I expected. We got it up 100 to 150′ before the Sun went behind the clouds and it started getting cold. It took several minutes to reel it back in. No pictures this time, but I’ll try to get some next time.
Luke enjoyed it, but I have no doubt I enjoyed it more than him. I haven’t flown a kite in years, and it was a lot of fun. In fact, a lot of this kid stuff is fun. I look forward to Luke building something besides towers with his Legos. Is he too young for model rockets? :)
I’m way behind with my “Luke and Liam Updates.” In the future I plan on making more shorter posts. When I try to do a big post every week or so, they just don’t happen. I’ll try to do a little catching up soon.
I had a big kite like that when I was a kid (a cheap plastic one, though). It was a lot of fun, way better than the smaller kites people normally buy. It was surprising just how hard it could pull when the wind hit it.
I’m disappointed that you didn’t get any pictures. :)
I had intended to carry my camera, but I forgot it. In any case, I was chief string holder, so I wouldn’t have gotten many pictures. Luke helped me hold the string some, but Liam was on the verge of being hungry and Cassie was having to deal with him. Such is life with a toddler and an infant. :)
