Kites and stuff

Last Friday we went to Soldier Hollow to tube. I liked it so much better this year than last year because it was warmer. The snow was slushy and we didn't sail down the big hill as quickly. I wasn't so freaked out for our lives, although watching Vy stand up as he went down was unnerving. This is our family picture attempt. It pretty much sums us up right now....Vy and Toki fighting over the blue tube, attacking each other, painful fits, and then more crying after dad whacks them too. Say cheese.

We went to the park to fly kites and we ended up staying for 3.5 hours. We had such a blast.

Toki and I battling out who can get the highest.


At first, the kite flying reminded me of our fishing trips.....trying to set everyone up and then having to do it over and over again and over again. Just like when we go fishing, someone has to get all tangled up. This time it was in power lines, trees, and brother's kite. After a while we got into the grove of things, we found a more open and windier field, a couple of the boys got side tracked, and it was all good.

The Darth Vader kite that the boys fought over, ended up being claimed by Toki. It was the most difficult kite to get up. It was feisty and at first I thought it was broken. After a while, we got the hang of things, and it became the funnest. It twists and turns, spins and plummets, and if you're in the way, it will hit you. It was pretty sweet.

Lolo and I went to TJ Max to pick up the kites. He picked out the dinosaur for himself and asked me to get his brothers the star wars ones, which were better quality. Normally I get the dollar kites, which work fine, but the extra cost was well worth it. The kites rocked!

Happy March to you! Hope you get out to enjoy the wind. We're loving the warmer weather and I even got out to do yard work this week.
