Let's Go Fly a Kite

Let's go fly a kite

Up to the highest height

Let's go fly a kit

And send it soaring

Up through the atmosphere

Up where the air is clear

Oh, let's go fly a kite

Let's go fly a kite!

As a family we decided that yesterday was finally warm enough to go outside for a bit to fly the kite Carson got for Easter this year, it was a bit chilly, but we still had a lot of fun as a family. It took a few tries before Robert was able to get it flying pretty good in the air, we didn't have the best conditions when it came to the wind, but we made it work.

At first the kite just kept flying around in a circle, until Robert realized that the kite was not put together correctly, after that it flew pretty well for a cheaper kite.

Carson very much enjoyed running around and looking way up into the sky as Daddy flew the kite, his cute smile proofs it!

I was able to get a pretty good picture of what the kite looked like as it was up in the air, I was pretty proud of the picture, normally can't snap a picture that fast.

Carson enjoyed it so much that a few times he could not control himself and ended up getting tangled in the kite while it drifted to the ground.

A couple of action shots of Carson chasing after the kite and Daddy. He might be a track star someday with that running position!

While we were out a few of the neighbor kids volunteered to take a few pictures of our little family. We got lucky to have such a good picture of all 3 of us including the kit which was positioned perfectly.

These next pictures were taken by a neighborhood boy who offered to take a few pictures. After he took a few of Carson he said maybe someday these pictures will be "memories" such a cute way of putting it.
