fly a kite

Jack has been kite focused for a while now. They just keep popping up in cartoons and in books and he never fails to bring them to our attention. I thought about making one and then yesterday I spotted one for sale and it was a rainbow one. We excitedly purchased the kite and Jack held it all the way home in the car. He woke up from his nap in a kite flying frame of mind but it was raining. After the rain we headed outside and gave it a try. Jack got slightly tangled

and I had a go but we didn't really get airborne. Then S came home and we had a quick bit of success but not enough wind. Maybe today...

What gorgeous photos! He looks like he's having a great time even with the tangle! :)

Yes, but finding it hard to grasp the concept that this is a two person operation. He thinks that when we run with the kite that we are not sharing. And when the wind stops and the kite crashes to the ground that it is broken.
