Fun with a Kite

Kaden loved watching the kites on the sand dunes when we were on vacation. Matt really wanted to get him a kite as soon as we got home, which we did. Of course, now we've gone weeks without a windy day! Saturday evening there were a few gusts of wind, so Matt took Kaden outside with the kite. Well, the wind wasn't quite up to kite-flying speed, so Matt put Kaden on his shoulders and ran up and down the street to make the kite fly. Kaden held onto the string. It was cute and very fun.

After Kaden got off Matt's shoulder's, Matt just ran up and down the street so the kite could go a bit higher...

Once they met in the middle, Matt gave Kaden control of the string. He knew exactly what to do -- run with it so the kite flies!

So now our son thinks WE make a kite fly, instead of the wind, but it was still lots of fun! Maybe if you're not too busy, you could wish us a windy day so Kaden can really see how a kite flies!
