Flyin' High

The weather was perfect for kite flying today. We flew kites for quite a while today. The kids (and I) had so much fun.

Flyin' High

It was a little windy out this afternoon, so the kids and I decided to try our hands at flying kites.

Cooper's kite is a monkey

this was the first time he'd ever flown a kite by himself

she refused to have her picture made today!

Summer Gift Surprise

Reagan and Cooper both received surprise packages in the mail this week from mamaw & papaw. The boxes contained items that will be lots of fun at home and on our beach vacation in 3 weeks!

Cooper couldn't wait to see what was inside

Almost got it openIs it for me?

More paper before getting to the good stuff

A kite ~ just like Reagan's, but Cooper's is in the shape of a monkey

Thanks mamaw & papaw, this will be great fun at the beach

Reagan's turn to open a box

Look at this!

Silly grin, but a big thank you!

Kite Flying

It had been really windy (but raining) all weekend, and Reagan was wanting to fly her kite. Of course, today there wasn't much wind. But we tried anyway!!

Trying to get some air

Finally, she got it up in the air
Cooper's wondering what's going on...

She's becoming an expert kite flier

Great form!!

The wind died down...

So we decided to go for a walk around the neighborhood instead

A Perfect Day...

...to fly a kite. Reagan's had this kite for about 6 months, but there has never been enough wind to keep it airborne until today. She had a great time ~ and even inspired some of the older neighborhood kids to get their kites out too!
